Statement of proposal to amend the Alcohol Control Bylaw

File No.: CP2020/08873

 

  

 

Te take mō te pūrongo

Purpose of the report

1.       To seek support on the statement of proposal to amend the Te Kaunihera o Tāmaki Makaurau Te Ture a Rohe Whakararata Waipiro 2014 / Auckland Council Alcohol Control Bylaw 2014 before it is finalised for public consultation.

Whakarāpopototanga matua

Executive summary

2.       To enable the local board to provide its views on the statement of proposal to amend the Te Kaunihera o Tāmaki Makaurau Te Ture a Rohe Whakararata Waipiro 2014 / Auckland Council Alcohol Control Bylaw 2014, staff have prepared a draft proposal.

3.       The draft proposal would continue to enable the council to make alcohol bans in certain public places to reduce crime and disorder caused or made worse by alcohol consumed there.

4.       The main proposals are to include new temporary alcohol bans for major events at Mount Smart Stadium, Western Springs Stadium, Eden Park and Auckland Domain, and to make the Bylaw easier to read and understand.

5.       Staff recommend that the local board provide its views on the draft proposal.

6.       There is a reputational risk that the draft proposal or the local board’s views do not reflect the views of people in the local board area. This risk would be partly mitigated by future public consultation processes. The local board will have an opportunity to consider any public feedback and provide formal views to a Bylaw Panel prior to the final decision.

7.       The local board’s views will be provided to the Regulatory Committee on 1 September 2020 who will recommend a statement of proposal for public consultation to the 24 September Governing Body meeting. Public consultation is scheduled for October 2020, Bylaw Panel deliberations for March 2021, and a final decision by the Governing Body for April 2021.

 

Ngā tūtohunga

Recommendation/s

That the Ōrākei Local Board:

a)      support the draft statement of proposal in Attachment A of this agenda report to amend the Auckland Council Alcohol Control Bylaw 2014 for public consultation.

 

Horopaki

Context

The Alcohol Control Bylaw enables council to make alcohol bans in public places

8.       The Te Kaunihera o Tāmaki Makaurau Te Ture a Rohe Whakararata Waipiro 2014 / Auckland Council Alcohol Control Bylaw 2014 (Bylaw) aims to reduce crime or disorder in certain public places caused or made worse by alcohol consumed there.

9.       The Bylaw achieves this by providing a framework that enables alcohol bans to be made by resolution of the relevant delegated authorities – the Regulatory Committee, Auckland Domain Committee or local boards. Alcohol bans are enforced by the New Zealand Police.

The Regulatory Committee has decided to amend the Alcohol Control Bylaw

10.     The Regulatory Committee requested staff commence the process to amend the Bylaw on 9 May 2019 (REG/2019/28). The process leading to this decision is summarised below.

11 April 2019

(REG/2019/19)

Regulatory Committee endorsed the statutory bylaw review findings that:

·    a bylaw about the consumption or possession of alcohol in public places is still the most appropriate way to address crime or disorder in certain public places caused or made worse by alcohol consumed there

·    the current Bylaw does not give rise to any implications under, and is not inconsistent with, the New Zealand Bill of Rights Act 1990

·    the current Bylaw structure and wording could be improved.

9 May 2019

(REG/2019/28)

Regulatory Committee instructed staff to draft an amended Bylaw (Option two) after considering four options:

·      Option one: status quo – retain Bylaw that makes alcohol bans by resolution

·      Option two: amend the current Bylaw – improve the status quo

·      Option three: replace the current Bylaw – new bylaw that contains all alcohol bans

·      Option four: revoke Bylaw – no bylaw and instead rely on other existing methods.

Staff prepared a proposal in line with decisions of the Regulatory Committee

11.     Staff have prepared a draft statement of proposal (draft proposal) to implement the decision of the Regulatory Committee to amend the Bylaw (Attachment A).

12.     The draft proposal includes the reasons and decisions leading to the proposed amendments and a comparison between the existing and amended bylaws.

The local board has an opportunity to provide its views on the proposal 

13.     The local board now has an opportunity to provide its views on the draft proposal in Attachment A by resolution to the Regulatory Committee before it is finalised for public consultation.

14.     For example, the local board could support the draft proposal for public consultation, recommend changes before it is finalised, or defer comment until after it has considered public feedback on the proposal.

Tātaritanga me ngā tohutohu

Analysis and advice

The draft proposal makes improvements to the current alcohol control bylaw

15.     The draft proposal seeks to improve the use of alcohol bans for major events[1] and make the Bylaw easier to read and understand. The table below summarises the proposed changes.

Summary of proposed changes to the Alcohol Control Bylaw 2014

Proposals

Reasons for proposals

·   Make new event-based temporary alcohol bans for all major events at Mount Smart Stadium, Western Springs Stadium, Eden Park and Auckland Domain in the Bylaw.:

·   The new event-based temporary alcohol bans will replace existing event-based temporary alcohol bans made by resolution[2]  for Mount Smart Stadium, Eden Park and Auckland Domain for ‘Christmas in the Park’ and the Lantern Festival. Changes to these existing resolutions would:

for Mount Smart Stadium extend the ban to apply to all major events, not just concerts

for Eden Park extend the ban to include Eden Park stadium, and two fan trails if they are activated as part of the event[3]

for Auckland Domain extend the ban to all major events (not just the Lantern Festival) and extend the times of the ban to start one hour earlier and finish one hour later.

The ban for the Auckland Domain ‘Christmas in the Park’ event would remain unchanged.

·   Replace with a related information note clauses about alcohol ban signage, and clauses about legislative decision-making criteria.

·   Clarify exceptions to alcohol bans for licensed premises and the transport of alcohol, council’s ability to make temporary alcohol bans and Bylaw wording.

Including new event-based temporary alcohol bans made in the Bylaw:

·    more easily enables a preventative approach to alcohol-related crime or disorder at or near event venues used for major events

·    removes time and cost to process individual requests for event-based temporary alcohol bans where:

the event venue has in the past, is currently, and will in the future be used for major events

a ban has been used in the past for major events at the event venue.

·    creates more consistent event-based temporary alcohol ban times and application.

Replacing some clauses with related information notes and providing clarifications:

·    removes provisions that are unnecessary to state in the Bylaw but are useful as extra information

·    provides rules that are easier to read and understand.

The draft proposal complies with statutory requirements

16.     The draft proposal has been prepared in accordance with statutory requirements and best practice drafting guidelines:

·   The proposed inclusion of event-based temporary alcohol bans for major events at certain venues in the Bylaw is a reasonable limitation on people’s rights and freedoms because the bans only apply temporarily to a limited area for large scale events.

·   The amended Bylaw is a more appropriate form of bylaw because the inclusion of event-based temporary alcohol bans for major events at certain venues enables a preventative approach to alcohol-related crime or disorder.[4] The amended Bylaw would also be easier to read and understand.

·   The amended Bylaw has no implications under, and is not inconsistent with, the New Zealand Bill of Rights Act 1990 (the Act). There are potential limitations to freedoms protected by the Act of expression, peaceful assembly, movement, security against unreasonable search and seizure, and to not be arbitrarily arrested. These limitations are justified because alcohol bans help prevent harm to the public, and because council’s ability to make alcohol bans is subject to legislative criteria which ensures any ban is justified, appropriate and proportionate.

Staff recommend the local board consider providing its views on the proposal

17.     Staff recommend that the local board consider the draft proposal and whether it wishes to provide its views to the Regulatory Committee.

Tauākī whakaaweawe āhuarangi

Climate impact statement

18.     There are no implications for climate change arising from this decision.

Ngā whakaaweawe me ngā tirohanga a te rōpū Kaunihera

Council group impacts and views

19.     The draft proposal impacts the operation of units across the council group involved in events, processing alcohol ban requests and alcohol ban signage. Those units are aware of the impacts of the proposal and their implementation role.

Ngā whakaaweawe ā-rohe me ngā tirohanga a te poari ā-rohe

Local impacts and local board views

20.     The Bylaw is important to local boards as they have the delegated authority to make local alcohol bans, and because alcohol bans help to improve public safety in their local areas.

21.     The main view of local board members during the bylaw review was to retain local board decision-making authority for local alcohol bans. The proposal supports this by retaining the current decision-making authority. The process for the local board to make alcohol bans by resolution will remain the same.

22.     The local board has an opportunity in this report to provide its views on the proposal to the Regulatory Committee.

23.     The local board will also have further opportunity to provide its views to a Bylaw Panel on any public feedback to the proposal from people in the local board area.

Tauākī whakaaweawe Māori

Māori impact statement

24.     The Bylaw has significance for Māori as users and kaitiaki / guardians of public space. Māori are also over-represented in alcohol-related hospital visits, the criminal justice system and as victims of crime.

25.     Māori health advocacy organisations, Te Puni Kōkiri and the Maunga Authority support the use of alcohol bans as a tool to reduce alcohol-related harm.

26.     The draft proposal supports this view by retaining the ability for council to use alcohol bans.

Ngā ritenga ā-pūtea

Financial implications

27.     There are no financial implications to the local board for any decision to support the draft proposal for public consultation. The Governing Body at a later date will consider any financial implications associated with public notification and signage.

Ngā raru tūpono me ngā whakamaurutanga

Risks and mitigations

28.     There is a reputational risk that the draft proposal or the local board’s views do not reflect the views of people in the local board area. This risk would be partly mitigated by future public consultation processes. The local board will have an opportunity to consider any public feedback and provide its formal views to a Bylaw Panel prior to the final decision.


 

Ngā koringa ā-muri

Next steps

29.     Staff will present a proposal and any local board views to the Regulatory Committee on 1 September 2020. The next steps are shown in the diagram below.

Ngā tūtohunga

Recommendation/s

That the Ōrākei Local Board:

Horopaki

Context

5.       ATEED has two areas of focus:

·   Economic Development – including business support, business attraction and investment, local economic development, trade and industry development, skills employment and talent and innovation and entrepreneurship.

·   Destination - supporting sustainable growth of the visitor economy with a focus on destination marketing and management, major events, business events (meetings and conventions) and international student attraction and retention.

6.       These two portfolios also share a common platform relating to the promotion of the city globally to ensure that Auckland competes effectively with other mid-tier high quality of life cities.

7.       ATEED works with local boards, Auckland Council and CCOs to support decision-making on local economic growth, and facilitates or co-ordinates the delivery of local economic development activity. ATEED ensures that the regional activities that ATEED leads or delivers are fully leveraged to support local economic growth and employment.

8.       In addition, ATEED’s dedicated Local Economic Development (LED) team works with local boards who allocate locally-driven initiatives (LDI) budget to economic development activities. The LED team delivers a range of services[5] such as the development of proposals, including feasibility studies that enable local boards to directly fund or otherwise advocate for the implementation of local initiatives.

9.       ATEED delivers its services at the local level through business hubs based in the north, west and south of the region, as well as its central office at 167B Victoria Street West.

10.     Additional information about ATEED’s role and activities can be found at www.aucklandnz.com/ateed.

Tātaritanga me ngā tohutohu

Analysis and advice

11.     As at 31 December 2019[6], 1876 businesses had been through an ATEED intervention or programme. Of these, 88 businesses were in the Ōrākei Local Board area – 32 businesses went through Destination-related programmes and 56 businesses went through Economic Development-related programmes.

Economic Development

Supporting Local Business Growth

12.     This area is serviced by the Business and Enterprise team in the Central office, located at 167B Victoria Street West, Auckland CBD. The team comprises of two Business and Innovation Advisors and administration support. The role of this team is to support the growth of Auckland’s key internationally competitive sectors and to support to provide quality jobs.

13.     A key programme in achieving this is central government’s Regional Business Partnership Network (RBPN). This is delivered by ATEED’s nine Business and Innovation Advisors (BIA), whose role is to connect local businesses to resources, experts and services in innovation, R&D, business growth and management.

14.     ATEED’s BIAs engage 1:1 with businesses through a discovery meeting to understand their challenges, gather key data, and provide connections / recommendations via an action plan.

15.     Where businesses qualify (meet the programme criteria and/or align to ATEED’s purpose as defined in the SOI) the advisors facilitate government support to qualifying businesses, in the form of:

·   Callaghan Innovation R&D grants (including Getting Started, project and student grants (https://www.callaghaninnovation.govt.nz/grants)

·   Callaghan Innovation subsidised innovation programmes (https://www.callaghaninnovation.govt.nz/innovation-skills)

·   RBPN business capability vouchers (NZTE), where the business owner may be issued co-funding up to $5,000 per annum for business training via registered service providers. Voucher co-funding is prioritised to businesses accessing this service for the first time, in order to encourage more businesses to engage with experts to assist their management and growth.

·   NZTE services such as Export Essentials (https://workshop.exportessentials.nz/register/)

·   Referrals to NZ Business Mentors via The Chamber of Commerce.

16.     During the reporting period, ATEED Business and Innovation Advisors met with 105 businesses in the Ōrākei Local Board area, 0 for innovation advice and services and 66 for business growth and capability advice and services. From these engagements:

·   0 connections were made to Callaghan Innovation services and programmes

·   8 RBPN vouchers were issued to assist with business capability training

·   3 referrals were made to Business Mentors New Zealand

·   1 connection was made to ATEED staff and programmes

·   62 connections were made to other businesses or programmes.

Other support for new businesses

17.     During the period, ATEED also ran workshops and events aimed at establishing or growing a new business and building capability. 4 people from the Ōrākei Local Board area attended an event below:

·   Starting off Right workshop - 3

·   Business clinic – 1

·   Innovation clinic – 0

Filming activity within the Ōrākei Local Board area

18.     ATEED’s Screen Auckland team facilitates, processes and issues film permits for filming activity in public open space. This activity supports local businesses and employment, as well as providing a revenue stream to local boards for the use of local parks.

19.     Between 1 July and 31 December 2019, a total of 300 film permits[7] were issued in the Auckland region, 12 of these permits were issued in the Ōrākei Local Board area.

20.     The Ōrākei Local Board area’s share of film permit revenue was $859.78[8] for the period (total for all boards combined was $38.208.55).

21.     Some of the key film productions that were issued permits to film in the Ōrākei Local Board area were:

·   The Wilds

·   BNZ Locals TV commercial

·   Delta TV commercial

·   National Geographic Tourism Show.

Young Enterprise Scheme (YES)

22.     The Auckland Chamber of Commerce has delivered the Lion Foundation Young Enterprise Scheme (YES) since January 2018. ATEED maintains a strategic role. During the period, there were 58 schools participating in the Auckland YES programme, representing 1364 students completing the programme. There are currently three schools from the Ōrākei Local Board area participating in the YES programme.

Local Jobs and Skills Hubs

23.     ATEED is the regional partner for the network of Auckland Jobs and Skills Hubs. These multi-agency hubs support employers at developments where there is a high and sustained demand for local labour and skills development. The Auckland network includes Ara (Auckland Airport development), CBD (Wynyard Quarter and city centre development), and Tāmaki hubs. The new Manukau and Northern hubs launched in August of 2019 with new initiatives underway. ATEED-established City Centre Hub reports a total of 480 people into employment, 2,092 training outcomes and 14 apprenticeships facilitated as at 28 February 2020. ATEED is the backbone organisation for the CBD Jobs and Skills Hub, where Māori represented over a third (36 per cent) of job placements towards a 40 per cent target.

24.     ATEED provided funding to CRL Progressive Employment programme for at risk youth supporting training and developing capability within businesses.  Five of six youth graduated the 18-week programme in October into jobs; evaluation report received which shows programme delivered excellent results.

Offshore talent attraction

25.     The Auckland Smart Move Q1-Q2 campaign, launched in July with Immigration New Zealand resulted in 2,126 tech and construction job applications from high-skilled offshore migrants, reaching more than 121,000 offshore high-skilled professionals.

Destination

North, West, South East and Gulf area destination management and marketing activity

26.     Over the period, the ATEED Tourism Innovation Team has cemented its highly effective regional cluster and program development. The city is managed on a North/West and Great Barrier area and South/East/Central and Waiheke area. This is a proactive programme that is generating success and clustering of businesses capability, skills and delivery across the entire city.

27.     Results are visible and reported, including:

·   East/South and North/West visitor maps

·   A Tourism Innovation Partnership Fund​ which identifies and focuses on capability building and content & product development​

·   Groups include the Franklin Tourism Group​, now closely aligned with East Auckland Tourism​, the Waiheke Tourism Cluster, the Matakana Cluster and the Waitakere Ranges Cluster as well as more bespoke groups on Great Barrier and specific territories.

·   Project & opportunity awareness for operators  

·   Regional showcase days, product awareness and updates, site familiarity visits (Famils), and opportunity discussions

·   Innovation sessions with topics such as capability building for smaller operators​, common issues and themes, key takeaways, and networking opportunities.

 

28.     The Auckland Visitor Survey Insights Report is the culmination of significant development in qualitative and quantitative data capture across all of Auckland. The report identifies the region by main areas, north, south, east, west, and gulf islands, and delivers a valuable and timely insight into visitors’ characteristics, behaviour, experience and perceptions of the Auckland region. This report will be available for local board access in the New Year.

Regional destination management and marketing activity

29.     Auckland cruise ship activity for the year 2018/19 reported growth for Auckland with visitor expenditure of $192.5m (note: this is not the GDP figure previously taken from Cruise NZ as it is no longer available). This is up from $145m in 2017/18. Passenger numbers in 2018/19 were up to 238,000 from 211,000 in 2017/18

30.     It was a strong six months of highly visible activities designed to attract visitors from overseas and around New Zealand to Auckland using various platforms:

Maori Tourism Innovation Partnership Programme – Pilot

32.     In alignment to the Destination AKL Strategy, ATEED has development a new Tourism Innovation Partnership fund to enable and support sustainable growth of Maori Tourism in Tāmaki Makaurau. Funding is available to Iwi, Hapū, Marae, Urban Māori Authorities and Māori Tourism collectives to apply for during the 19/20 financial year. So far, we have supported the following two initiatives:

·   Ngai Tai ki Tāmaki/Te Haerenga have been awarded $25,000 to develop and promote day tours to Rangitoto and Motutapu through walking and e-bike tours.

·   Te Manu Taupua (with support from the Tupuna Maunga Authority & Nuu Limited) have been awarded $20,000 to grow digital capacity and capability to amplify the cultural narratives of Tāmaki Makaurau. These resources will then be used to educate and develop cultural competency within Auckland’s tourism industry.

33.     Examples of separate local board area activity includes:

·   Waitematā - Feasibility study for a Māori Cultural Centre

RFA, ATEED and Panuku in partnership with mana whenua (in particular, Ngāti Whātua Ōrākei, Ngāti Pāoa and Te Kawerau a Maki) are in the final stages of finalising a feasibility study for a Māori Cultural Centre, with a penultimate draft being circulated internally. The cultural centre is closely linked to the City centre work being undertaken by the Auckland Design Office. 

·   Ōtara-Papatoetoe - Elemental – Te Ahi Kōmau Event

ATEED, in collaboration with Panuku are supporting The Cause Collective and Papatūānuku Marae in the delivery and marketing of an indigenous food and cultural storytelling event as apart of Elemental 2020 programme.

·   Albert-Eden – Whau Café

In collaboration with the Tūpuna Maunga Authority, ATEED supported the marketing and promotion of a new Māori centred café and visitor centre called Whau Café located in the historic kiosk on Maungawhau. Whau Café officially opened to the public in December 2019 and has been successfully operating since.

·   Rodney - Capability Development

ATEED is supporting Te Hana Community Development Charitable Trust with the re-prioritising of their commercial tourism aspirations and product development. ATEED is also involved in the Auckland Council working group, to support Te Hana with renewing and re-accessing the lease model as well and supporting further community engagement focused initiatives.
