Public Safety and Nuisance Bylaw Review
File No.: CP2017/06708
Purpose
1. To
seek feedback from the Rural Advisory Panel on the Public Safety and Nuisance
Bylaw.
Executive
summary
2. Auckland
Council is currently reviewing its Public Safety and Nuisance Bylaw (the
bylaw).
3. The
bylaw covers a wide range of issues as shown in Attachment A. Issues of
particular interest to the Rural Advisory Panel may include:
· fireworks
· outdoor
fires
· vehicles
on beaches or parks
· nuisance
or dangerous fencing.
4. As
part of the review, staff seek feedback from the Rural Advisory Panel in its
role as advisors to Auckland Council on rural issues.
5. It
is recommended that the feedback be obtained using a workshop format at its
meeting on Friday 5 May 2017. Attachment B contains the questions we
would like to workshop.
6. Staff
will use the feedback, together with other research and engagement initiatives,
to develop a report to the Regulatory Committee in September 2017. At that
meeting, the Regulatory Committee will decide whether any changes to the bylaw
should be proposed. Any proposed changes will be publicly notified for
submissions before a final decision is made in 2018.
