Health and Hygiene Bylaw Review
File No.: CP2017/21868
Purpose
1. To
hear about the experiences of Pacific Peoples Advisory Panel members and their
communities with commercial services that pierce, break, or burn the skin, or
risk transferring infections, and their view on whether the Auckland Council
Health and Hygiene Bylaw 2013 (the Bylaw) is the most appropriate way of
regulating these services.
Executive
summary
2. As
part of the review, staff seek feedback from the Pacific Peoples Advisory Panel
in its role as advisors to Auckland Council on issues of significance to
Pacific communities.
3. Your
feedback will be referenced in a findings report to the Regulatory Committee in
early 2018. Based on these findings, the committee will propose whether
the Bylaw should remain unchanged, be amended, or be revoked.
4. The
proposal will be publicly notified later in 2018 so the public can have their
say before a final decision is made.
5. The Health and Hygiene Bylaw 2013 (the Bylaw) establishes a
framework to protect public health by regulating a wide range of commercial
services that pierce the skin (e.g. tattoo, piercings), risk breaking or
burning the skin (e.g. beauty treatments, including manicures/pedicures,
sun-beds), or risk transferring infection (e.g. public swimming pools, colonic
hydrotherapy).
6. The Bylaw specifies commercial services that require a license, must
comply with minimum standards, or are exempt. The Bylaw also enables the
adoption of a code of practice which details minimum standards and recommended
best practice.
7. The Bylaw is being reviewed to assess whether it is still the
most appropriate way of protecting public health from health and hygiene
risks. The code of practice will be reviewed after the review of the
Bylaw is completed.
8. The Bylaw supports a number of Auckland Plan strategic directions
and priorities including:
· to improve the
education, health and safety of Aucklanders, with a focus on those most in need
· to enable
Māori aspirations through recognition of Te Tiriti o Waitangi / The Treaty
of Waitangi and customary rights
· to
grow a business-friendly and well-functioning city.
9. Please
see attached information sheet for more detail on the Bylaw.
