Local board role in alcohol licence applications
|
|
|
Resolution number OP/2014/117
MOVED
by Chairperson E Collins, seconded by Member SC Grey:
That the
Ōtara-Papatoetoe Local Board:
a)
Supports
local boards having continued input into the development of the local alcohol
policy.
b)
Requests
that the Chief Executive be instructed to review the council’s processes to
make it easier for the community to access information and receive advice and
support on alcohol licence applications.

Supports
local boards being given the opportunity, as an alternative to lodging their
own objections, to put forward their views on a particular licence
application as a separate report to the District Licensing Committee.
d)
In
recognition of the specific community concern about alcohol-related harm:
i) requests
that the governing body delegates to the local board the power to make
objections on alcohol licence applications under the Sale and Supply of
Alcohol Act 2012; and
ii) confirms
its resolution of 16 June 2014 (OP/2014/106) asking for the delegation on the
additional grounds that delegating the power to local boards will better
reflect the wide variety of local circumstances and preferences, and provide

across Auckland.
