Public feedback on proposal to amend the
Alcohol Control Bylaw 2014
File No.: CP2021/00513
Te take mō te
pūrongo
Purpose of the report
1. To
seek views on public feedback to the proposal to amend Te Ture ā-Rohe
Whakararata Waipiro / the Alcohol Control Bylaw 2014 before a final decision is
made.
Whakarāpopototanga matua
Executive summary
2. To
enable the local board to provide its views on public feedback to the proposal
to amend the Alcohol Control Bylaw 2014, staff have prepared summary and
deliberation reports.
3. The
Bylaw continues to enable alcohol bans in public places to reduce crime and
disorder caused or made worse by alcohol consumed there.
4. The
proposal seeks to improve the Bylaw by including new temporary alcohol bans for
major events at Rarotonga / Mount Smart Stadium, Waiōrea / Western Springs
Stadium, Eden Park and Pukekawa / Auckland Domain, and by making the Bylaw
easier to read and understand.
5. Staff
recommend that the local board provide its views on public feedback to the
proposal, and if it wishes, present those views to the Bylaw Panel. Taking this
approach will assist the Panel and Governing Body to decide whether to adopt
the proposal.
6. There
is a reputational risk that feedback from the local board area is from a
limited group of people and does not reflect the views of the whole local board
area. This report mitigates this risk by providing local boards with a summary
of all public feedback.
7. The
Panel will consider all local board and Auckland Domain Committee views and
public feedback, deliberate and make recommendations to the Governing Body on
19 March 2021. The Governing Body will make a final decision on 29 April 2021.

Horopaki
Context
The Alcohol Control Bylaw enables
council to make alcohol bans
8. Te
Kaunihera o Tāmaki Makaurau Te Ture ā-Rohe Whakararata Waipiro / the
Auckland Council Alcohol Control Bylaw 2014 (Bylaw) aims to help reduce crime
and 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, local boards and the Auckland
Domain Committee.
10. The
New Zealand Police enforce alcohol bans.
Council proposed amendments to improve the Bylaw for public feedback
11. On 24
September 2020 the Governing Body adopted a proposal to improve the Bylaw for public
consultation (Item 15, GB/2020/109).
12. The proposal
arose from a statutory review of the Bylaw (see figure below).
13. The proposal
seeks to better reduce alcohol-related crime and disorder by making:
· new
temporary alcohol bans for major events[1]
at four regional venues (Rarotonga / Mount Smart Stadium, Waiōrea /
Western Springs Stadium, Eden Park and Pukekawa / Auckland Domain)
· the
Bylaw easier to read and understand.
14. The proposal
was publicly notified for feedback from 10 October until 13 November 2020.
During that period, council received feedback from 881 people.
Decisions
leading to the proposal
The local board has an opportunity to provide views on public
feedback
15. The local
board now has an opportunity to provide its views on public feedback to the
proposal by people from the local board area before a final decision is made.
16. Local board
views must be provided by resolution to the Bylaw Panel. The local board can
also choose to present those views to the Bylaw Panel on 19 March 2021.
17. The nature of
the views is at the discretion of the local board. Any views must however
remain inside the scope of the proposal and public feedback. For example, the
local board could:
· indicate
support for public feedback by people from the local board area
· recommend how the Bylaw
Panel should address matters raised in public feedback.

criminal justice system and as victims of crime.

health advocacy organisations, Te Puni Kōkiri and the Tūpuna Maunga
Authority support the use of alcohol bans as a tool to reduce alcohol-related
harm.
32. The
Tūpuna Maunga Authority provided general feedback on the proposal noting
that Tūpuna Maunga are subject to alcohol and smoke-free policy that
supports the spiritual, cultural and community significance of the maunga.
33. The majority
of people identifying as Māori who provided feedback support the proposal.
This is consistent with the overall percentage of public feedback in support.

Risks and mitigations

public feedback.

Panel on 19 March 2021 will consider all formal local board and Auckland Domain
