Psychoactive substances – draft Local Approved Product Policy

Resolution number UH/2014/170

MOVED by Member MA Miles, seconded by Deputy Chairperson LM Whyte:

That the Upper Harbour Local Board:

a) note that, if the board objects outright to retail outlets selling psychoactive substances, it will lose its ability to comment upon potential policy options once a draft and final policy is developed.

b) provide feedback on the draft Local Approved Product Policy option, as set out in the report entitled “Psychoactive substances – draft Local Approved Product Policy”, in order to try and minimize the adverse effects on the community and not because it is in favor of the supply, sale and use of psychoactive substances. The board’s feedback is as follows:

· high deprivation areas as defined by the Ministry of Health’s Deprivation Index score of 8, 9 or 10 indicating areas that fall in the bottom 30% of deprivation scores

· neighborhood centres as defined by the unitary plan

· within 600m of high school

· within 300m of a primary school

· within 600m of a mental health, addiction treatment centre and neighborhood centres

· within 500m of an existing psychoactive substance retail license.

c) express concern about the fact that no mention is made in Auckland Council’s policy regarding the possibility of internet sales of psychoactive substances, which the board opposes, and request that this matter be investigated further.
