Update on Animal Management Controls 2015

File No.: CP2015/11017

Purpose

1. To make a seasonal licence exemption in the Keeping of Stock Control 2015 to enable children living in rural-residential areas to participate in agricultural day events.

Executive Summary

2. In April 2015 the Governing Body directed staff to investigate options to amend the Keeping of Stock Control 2015 and enable the keeping of stock in rural-residential areas for events such as school pet days and calf club (GB/2015/22).

3. The Keeping of Stock Control 2015 requires a licence to keep stock on properties that are smaller than 4,000 square metres, including large lot and rural and coastal settlement zones.

4. Three options have been developed for consideration:

· no change to the Keeping of Stock Control (Option 1)

· a seasonal licence exemption for children’s agricultural day events registered with Auckland Council (Option 2)

· a seasonal licence exemption to keep stock on properties larger than 1,000 square metres (Option 3).

5. Staff recommend Option 2 a seasonal licence exemption to keep stock for children’s agricultural day events. This option would require that:

· the event is registered with the council and event organisers provide participants with education on responsible animal ownership

· the premises on which the stock is being kept is within one of the following local board areas: Franklin, Great Barrier, Papakura, Rodney, Waiheke or Waitakere Ranges

· the stock is less than 12 months of age and is kept on the premises for no more than six months between 1 June and 30 November.

6. Registration of events is intended to be a one-off process with no associated costs for event organisers.

Recommendation

That the Regulatory and Bylaws Committee:

a) amend the Keeping of Stock Control 2015 to make a seasonal licence exemption for children’s agricultural day events (as contained in Attachment A).

Background

7. On 30 April the Governing Body adopted the Keeping of Stock Control 2015 which will come into effect on 1 September 2015 (GB/2015/22). The Keeping of Stock Control 2015 is made under the Auckland Council Animal Management Bylaw 2015.

8. Staff were directed by the Governing Body to investigate options to amend the Keeping of Stock Control 2015 and enable children to keep stock in rural-residential areas for events such as calf club and school agricultural days.

9. Children’s agricultural day events are a valued tradition in rural communities. The events aim to encourage children to learn animal handling by rearing a lamb, kid or calf and bringing their pet to competition days where they compete in various classes. Competition days are usually held at the end of spring and animals are often collected in June or July to enable the animal to grow to its full potential.

10. The Keeping of Stock Control 2015 regulates the keeping of stock in urban areas. A licence must be obtained from the council to keep stock on properties that are smaller than 4,000 square metres. An urban area is defined by the Residential Zone of the Proposed Auckland Unitary Plan, which includes large lot and rural and coastal settlement zones.

11. The Regulatory and Bylaws Committee has delegated authority to amend the control.

Comments

12. The Social Policy and Bylaws Unit developed three options as a basis for consultation with the Rural Advisory Panel and Auckland Council Licensing and Compliance Services. From this engagement staff then developed a recommended amendment to the Keeping of Stock Control 2015 to enable the keeping of stock in rural-residential areas for events such as school pet days and calf club.

Options

13. The table below shows three options for consideration.

Options

Advantages

Disadvantages

Option 1

No change – licence required to keep stock on properties smaller than 4,000 square metres

· Licences enable the council to meet with animal owners and avoid potential problems (containment, effluent disposal).

· Licence fee of $240 to keep stock on a property that is smaller than 4,000 square metres.

· Compliance cost to the council.

Option 2

Seasonal licence exemption to keep stock for events registered with the council (June – November)

· No licence fee to temporarily keep stock for children’s agricultural day events held during the spring.

· Enables the council to support event organisers educate households on responsible animal ownership and the bylaw’s general animal owner obligations.

· No administration cost to the council.

· The exemption is reliant on the event being registered with the council.

· Relies on the responsibility of animal owners to ensure their property is appropriate for the type of animal and that they don’t cause issues with neighbours.

Option 3

Seasonal licence exemption to keep stock on properties larger than 1,000 square metres

· No action required on behalf of the event organiser.

· No licence fee to keep stock on sections that are larger than 1,000 square metres.

· Avoids possible problems that may arise if households wish to keep stock in suburban areas e.g Pukekohe

· Households are not provided with education on the bylaw’s general animal owner obligations.

· Cost of $240 for a licence to own stock on a property that is smaller than 1,000 square metres.

· Compliance cost to the council.

Views of the Rural Advisory Panel

14. At their meeting on 12 June 2015 the Rural Advisory Panel supported a seasonal licence exemption for events registered with the council and recommend the use of school newsletters to educate parents on responsible animal ownership. The panel opposed requiring a licence to keep stock for children’s agricultural day events because the cost would hinder children’s participation learning opportunities through such events (RUR/2015/13).

Views of Licensing and Compliance Services

15. Licensing and Compliance Services staff are supportive of enabling children’s participation in agricultural day events and providing parents with guidance on responsible animal ownership.

Staff recommendation

16. Staff recommend Option 2 to make a seasonal licence exemption to keep stock for children’s participation in agricultural day events. This option would require that:

· the event is registered with the council and event organisers provide participants with education on responsible animal ownership. It is intended that registration will be a one-off process

· the premises on which the stock is being kept is within one of the following local board areas: Franklin, Great Barrier, Papakura, Rodney, Waiheke or Waitakere Ranges

· the stock is less than 12 months of age and is kept on the premises for no more than six months between 1 June and 30 November.

17. Option 2 has been recommended for the following reasons:

· no licence fee for animal owners

· pro-active approach to educate animal owners on responsible practices

· responsive approach to problems as they arise.

18. Full details of the amendment to the Keeping of Stock Control 2015 can be viewed in Attachment A.

Consideration

Local Board views and implications

19. The views of local boards had been sought during the Animal Management Bylaw Review in 2013. Keeping animals for calf club and school agricultural days was not raised as an issue at the time.

20. It is noted that members of the Rodney and Franklin local boards were engaged as part of the preparation for this report through the Rural Advisory Panel (RUR/2015/13).

Māori impact statement

21. The impact of the decision of this report will be positive for Māori.

22. Council staff engaged with Māori on the Animal Management Bylaw Review in 2013. Keeping animals for calf club and school agricultural days was not raised as an issue at the time.

Implementation

23. Licensing and Compliance Services will need to develop a new process to register children’s agricultural day events. This is intended to be a one-off process (not an annual requirement). If the event is an annual event, organisers will need to ensure participants are aware of their obligations to properly contain stock and ensure animals do not cause issues for neighbours. Licensing and Compliance Services will implement this new process by updating practices and procedures and information available to customers.

Table 2: Additional comments for particular topics in the bylaw review programme

Air Quality	On track	G
Staff are developing an Air Quality Action Plan to be considered by the Regional Strategy and Policy Committee. A workshop will be held with councillors (planned for September 2015) to seek their input on a range of approaches for managing Auckland’s air quality.

Boarding houses, hostels	On track	G
At its meeting on 8 of July 2015, the Regulatory and Bylaws resolved to allow the two legacy bylaws to lapse on the 31 October 2015(RBC/2015/26). At that same meeting, the committee requested staff provide an update report to the Regional Strategy and Policy Committee in August 2015 to continue Auckland Council’s advocacy with government. A report was presented to the committee on 6^th of August.

Confirmation of legacy bylaws	On track	G
Following the decision by the Regulatory and Bylaws Committee on 8 July 2015 on the confirmation of several remaining legacy bylaws, a report was presented to the Governing Body at its meeting on the 30^th of July recommending they adopt the statement of proposal. Staff are now preparing for public consultation which will commence on 3 August 2015.

Property maintenance and nuisance	On track	G
Submissions for the proposed Property Maintenance and Nuisance Bylaw closed on 1 July 2015. 34 submissions were received, with one late submission forwarded on to the Hearings Panel chair. Hearings and Deliberations have been set for 31 July 2015, with ten submitters asking to be heard. The new Property Maintenance and Nuisance Bylaw is expected to come in to force on 1 November.

Review of current alcohol controls	On track	G
The review of 1750 alcohol bans continues. In May 2015, final decisions were made by five local boards (Hibiscus and Bays, Kaipatiki, Rodney, Upper Harbour and Waitakere Ranges) on alcohol bans in their areas. Fifteen local boards and the Regulatory and Bylaws Committee are obtaining further alcohol-related evidence through a community engagement/submissions process. Submissions closed on 17 July 2015. Hearings and deliberations are scheduled for August and September, with final reports being presented to local boards and Regulatory and Bylaws Committee before the statutory deadline of 31 October 2015.

Review of dog access rules - 2015	On track	G
The submissions period for the ten local boards undertaking a review of their dog access rules opened on 12 June 2015 and closed on 17 July 2015. The hearings and deliberations are being undertaken in August and September with a final report with recommendations for amendments to the Auckland Dog Management Bylaw 2012 to be presented at the October Governing Body meeting.

Review of Food Safety Bylaw	On track	G
Preliminary research has been completed. This involved a Peoples Panel survey and surveys to food business operators and Environmental Health staff to understand preferred approaches for grading food premises. The drafting of an Issues and Options Paper is currently underway to inform the grading methodology.

Set netting controls (including Arkles Bay )

On track

At its meeting on the 8 July 2015, the Regulatory and Bylaws Committee resolved to allow the Rodney District Council – Prohibition of Set Netting Arkles Bay 2007 to lapse (resolution number: RBC/2015/23). At that same meeting the committee also resolved (resolution number: RBC/2015/24) that staff:

· investigate the making of seasonal crab pot and set net controls at Omaha Beach and a set net control at Arkles Bay.

· undertake further monitoring of set net activities at Hatfields Beach, Browns Bay, Matakatia Beach and Campbells Bay over the 2015/16 summer period.

Staff are focusing on progressing the above recommendations and are meeting with the council’s parks operational staff and representatives from the Ministry for Primary Industries.

Shared Spaces Guidelines	On track	G
Staff from both Social Policy and Bylaws and Licensing and Compliance Services are developing shared spaces guidelines to assist operational staff in implementing the Trading and Events in Public Places Bylaw in relation to trading activities in shared spaces. This is a companion operational document to the Trading and Events in Public Places Guidelines 2015 that were adopted by the Regulatory and Bylaws Committee on 8 July 2015 (resolution number: RBC/2015/22).

Stormwater	On track	G
Oral submissions were heard at a meeting of the Stormwater Bylaw Hearings Panel on 10 November 2014. This was followed by a workshop held with submitters on 4 March 2015 to enable staff to address specific areas of concern. The hearing panel held deliberations on 28 May 2015. The chair of the hearing panel will be presenting the proposed bylaw to the Governing Body for adoption on 30 July 2015. The bylaw will come into effect on 1 November 2015.

Risks

7. The confirmation of the several remaining legacy bylaws must be completed by 31 October 2015. Timing is important due to the statutory requirement to review the legacy bylaws by this date. The high demand on elected members’ time means that there could be a risk to the scheduling of hearings. To mitigate this risk a hearings panel has already been appointed (resolution number: RBC/2015/23) and staff are ensuring that the project remains on track to meet the bylaw timelines.

Regulatory and Bylaws Committee

11 August 2015

Alcohol ban signage

File No.: CP2015/14043

Purpose

1. To provide an update on the status of the Auckland Council Te Reo Māori/Māori Language Framework.

Executive Summary

2. The Regulatory and Bylaws Committee at its business meeting on 4 May 2015 requested an update on the status of the Te Reo Māori Policy/Framework that would assist officers when integrating Te Reo Māori through appropriate stages of council business, particularly signage.

3. The Auckland Council Te Reo Māori/Māori Language Framework is currently in a draft form. The Secretariat of the Independent Māori Statutory Board has provided feedback on the draft framework and input is being sought from mana whenua. The draft will be presented to the Executive Leadership Team at a date yet to be determined.

4. The committee’s discussion about the Auckland Council Te Reo Māori/Māori Language Framework related to the adoption of guidelines for alcohol ban signage. Guidelines for alcohol ban signage are critical to implement decisions on the review of the more than 1,700 alcohol bans by 31 October 2015. Approximately a quarter of all Local Boards have already made decisions in relation to alcohol bans in their local areas. However, signs have not been able to be upgraded in these areas because of delays in finalising the guidelines.

5. The Alcohol Ban Signage Guidelines can be updated as necessary to implement the Auckland Council Te Reo Māori/Māori Language Framework once it is approved.

Recommendations

That the Regulatory and Bylaws Committee:

a) receive the report.

Comments

Background

6. The Governing Body adopted the new Alcohol Control Bylaw 2014 at its business meeting on 30 October 2014. As part of its decision, the Governing Body, resolved to

“direct the Manager Policies and Bylaws to develop alcohol ban signage guidelines to be reported to the Regulatory and Bylaws Committee”

(Resolution number GB/2014/121)

7. Alcohol Ban Signage Guidelines were subsequently developed and the guidelines were reported back to the Regulatory and Bylaws Committee business meeting on 4 May 2015.

8. The Alcohol Ban Signage Guidelines were developed in conjunction with Brand and Chanel and is compliant with the Auckland Council Identity Guideline. Feedback on the content of the guidelines was also sought from Te Waka Angumua, Parks, Sport and Recreation, Community Development Arts and Culture, Auckland Tourism Economic Events and Development, Auckland Transport, and the New Zealand Police.

9. When the Alcohol Ban Signage Guidelines were presented to the Regulatory and Bylaws Committee there was some discussion relating to the use of Te Reo Māori on the signage. As a result committee resolved to:

“request that officers report back to the Regulatory and Bylaws Committee, or the Regional Strategy and Policy Committee, and to the Independent Maori Statutory Board about the status of the Te Reo Māori Policy/Framework that would assist officers when integrating Te Reo Māori through appropriate stages of council business, particularly signage, as recommended through the Independent Maori Statutory Board Treaty of Waitangi Audit Review”.

(Resolution number RBC/2015/10)

Comments

10. The Auckland Council Te Reo Māori/Māori Language Framework is intended to outline the principles and conventions to guide the council’s use of Te Reo Māori. This includes assisting staff on the use of Te Reo Māori on signage.

11. The Auckland Council Te Reo Māori/Māori Language Framework is currently in a draft form. The Secretariat of the Independent Māori Statutory Board has provided feedback on the draft framework and input is being sought from mana whenua. The draft will be presented to the Executive Leadership Team for consideration.

12. The need to develop guidelines for alcohol ban signage is critical to implement decisions on the review of the more than 1,700 alcohol bans currently in progress across 20 local boards (excludes the Great Barrier Local Board) and the Regulatory and Bylaws Committee by 31 October 2015.

13. Alcohol ban signage will need to be removed from the more than 1,700 existing alcohol ban areas and replacement signs installed for all those alcohol ban areas that are retained. This is a significant work programme, and any opportunity to spread the replacement work over a longer period of time would be beneficial to operations.

14. Five local boards have already made decisions on alcohol bans in their areas, but implementation of these decisions has been delayed pending the finalisation of the alcohol ban signage guidelines. The remaining 15 local board areas and the Regulatory and Bylaws Committee will commence hearings in August with the decisions on all alcohol bans to be confirmed by 31 October 2015.

15. The Alcohol Ban Signage Guidelines will be used to confirm the design of signage until such a time as the Auckland Council Te Reo Māori/Māori Language Framework is adopted.

16. At that point, the Alcohol Ban Signage Guidelines will be reviewed to ensure that they are compliant with the Auckland Council Te Reo Māori/Māori Language Framework.

17. If amendments to the guideline are required, then an updated version of the guidelines will be circulated to the members of this committee for their information at that point.

Consideration

Local Board views and implications

18. Local boards have been informed in workshops that alcohol ban signage would be developed regionally to ensure consistency.

Māori impact statement

19. The recognition, protection and revitalisation of Te Reo Māori forms an important part of council’s overall Māori responsiveness approach, including on council signage.

Implementation

20. Alcohol ban signage will need to be removed from approximately 1,700 existing alcohol ban areas and replacement signs installed for all those alcohol ban areas that are retained. This is a significant work programme, and any opportunity to spread this installation work over a longer period of time would be beneficial to operations. Some local boards have already made decisions on alcohol bans in their areas and once the signage guidelines are finalised, the installation of upgraded signage will be able to commence in these areas.
