MOVED by Chairperson R Northey, seconded by Member ST
Trotman:
That
the Waitematā Local Board:
a)
receive public feedback on, and
express support for most of the proposal to make a new Te Kaunihera o
Tāmaki Makaurau Te Ture ā-Rohe Tauhokohoko, Whakahaerenga me te
Tango Kiriata Tūmatanui 2022 / Auckland Council Public Trading, Events
and Filming Bylaw 2022 in this agenda report.
b)
make the following comments and
request the following changes and additions:
i)
support retaining the current 1.8
metre provision for unobstructed pavement
ii)
support separating out from mobile
shop licenses and setting specific licence procedures and rules for rental
micromobility devices to ensure public safety and improve public experience
at council-controlled public spaces
iii)
request that the definition of
micromobility devices be phrased in a way that will include new types of
devices likely to emerge in future by taking the word “small” out
of the definition and making it clear that the list of devices is indicative
and not exclusive
iv)
recommend the addition of more
specific rules for micromobility devices to include requirements to park such
devices in assigned parking spaces for them or, if none are available nearby,
to park them in a manner and location that does not constitute a hazard to
other footpath and road users, including those who are frail or visually
impaired
v)
recommend strengthening the
requirements for all types of licences to ensure minimum obstructions or
hazards to pedestrian or vehicular access or flow and to add ensuring proper
access and safety for frail and disabled people, including that there should
be a reference to conformity with the United Nations Convention on the Rights
of Persons with Disabilities
vi)
support the requirement for all types
of licence holders to demonstrate their suitability to hold that licence
vii)
support the proposed recognition of
filming separately from events
viii) recommend including a requirement that the use of drones
for filming does not compromise people’s privacy, safety, or right to
quiet enjoyment
ix)
support the requirement on filmmakers
to protect wildlife
x)
request that it be a requirement of
applicants for filming that the product they make would be permitted to be
shown in New Zealand by conforming to New Zealand laws and regulations, for
example no filming of tobacco advertisements or of instructions for
constructing bombs
xi)
require any approval for significant
street trading, events or filming be notified to any known business or
residents’ association for the area
xii)
support the recognition of the right
to protest by removing “protest” from the definition of an event
xiii) request an addition that a street performance licence be
required for any person, group or organisation that regularly or frequently
uses a microphone or other sound amplification devices to broadcast music or
speeches in public places to better control public nuisance
xiv) support measures enabling the activation of
temporary parklets as part of events
xv) request that the ability to impose appropriate
controls and conditions on commercial activities in parks and public places
not currently covered be added to this bylaw or otherwise applied and
enforced, particularly for fitness classes, that can create public safety and
access issues
xvi) support the bylaw having been reworded to act
as a “one stop shop” for applicants using “related
information notes” and ready access to other relevant material
xvii) request a requirement for climate change
considerations and other environmental impacts to be taken into account in
decision-making where relevant
xviii) request that the bylaw explicitly ban trading in tobacco
products, contemporary weapons of war, illegal weapons, material promoting
the hatred of, or discrimination against, any people by reason of their
personal characteristics, and any trading contrary to Auckland
Council’s Local Alcohol Policy or Gambling Policies
xix)
provide for the possible future
transfer of aspects of decision-making under this bylaw to the Waiheke Local
board under the current governance pilot and, if successful, subsequently to
other local boards
xx)
stress that effective monitoring and
enforcement of the decisions made under this bylaw is crucial.
c)
appoint Chair R Northey to present
the views in (b) to the Bylaw Panel on 19 October 2021.
