Public feedback on proposal to make a new Signs Bylaw 2022

Resolution number MT/2022/10

MOVED by Member D Burrows, seconded by Member T Woodcock:

That the Maungakiekie-Tāmaki Local Board:

a. receive the public feedback on the proposal to make a new Auckland Council and Auckland Transport Ture ā-Rohe mo nga Tohu 2022 / Signs Bylaw 2022 and associated controls in this agenda report.

b. support work that makes the bylaw clearer and easier to understand for businesses and request ensuring that it addresses:

i. permitted duration of temporary sales signage

ii. permitted distance from property for free-standing, portable signs and posters

iii. removal of signage after a business or similar vacates a property.

iv. request to have Bollard advertising added for consideration, to avoid unnecessary clutter & harmful advertising at shop entrances and other public spaces

c. request further investigation into preventative or proactive communication and compliance measures that suit the needs of communities who may not be attracted or have easy access to reporting a complaint.

d. request continued work around review and enforcement alcohol signage regulations, noting that alcohol signage is outside the scope of this bylaw review, but is of ongoing concern to our community.

e. Request improved efforts to enforce existing and proposed changes to bylaws so any changes are performing as intended. Enforcement would achieve the outcomes as listed in the executive summary of the proposal, including health and safety, etc.

The intention to reduce crime and increase safety by actively discouraging window shop window signage has led to more street and building signage.

g. disagree with the proposal to exclude signage to promote entrust elections.

h. appoint Member D Burrows and Chair Meredith to present the Board’s views to the bylaw panel on the 28th March.

i. delegate authority to the Chair to appoint replacements to the persons in h. should an appointed member be unable to present to the bylaw panel.
