Review of Local Alcohol Policy 1 File Ref: 14/173 REPORT TO: LOCAL ALCOHOL POLICY JOINT COMMITTEE MEETING DATE: MONDAY 24 FEBRUARY 2014 FROM: SENIOR ENVIRONMENTAL PLANNER CATHERINE BOULTON SUBJECT: REVIEW OF LOCAL ALCOHOL POLICY Item 5 1.0 SUMMARY 1.1 The purpose of this report is to facilitate the hearing of submissions on Hastings District and Napier City Councils’ Draft Local Alcohol Policy. The report summarises, and provides analysis of, written submissions received through the special consultative procedure. It then sets out the officers’ recommendations as to the content of the Provisional Local Alcohol Policy. 1.2 The next steps following this report are for the Local Alcohol Policy Joint Committee to hold a hearing of submissions, and to make a recommendation to the Hastings District and Napier City Councils as to the content of the Provisional Local Alcohol Policy. 2.0 BACKGROUND Sale and Supply of Alcohol Act 2012 2.1 New Zealand’s alcohol laws were recently reformed in December 2012. The Sale and Supply of Alcohol Act 2012 (SSAA) puts in place a new system of control over the sale and supply of alcohol and generally reforms the law relating to the sale, supply and consumption of alcohol. 2.2 The SSAA aims to minimize the harm caused by the excessive or inappropriate consumption of alcohol and ensure that the sale, supply and consumption of alcohol should be undertaken safely and responsibly. Harm is defined very widely in the Act and includes any crime, damage, death, disease, disorderly behavior, illness, or injury to individuals or the community either directly or indirectly caused by excessive or inappropriate alcohol consumption. 2.3 Under the SSAA, Territorial authorities are able to develop Local Alcohol Policies (LAPs) which are to consist of a set of decisions made by the Council in consultation with the community about the sale and supply of alcohol. 2.4 LAPs are optional, Territorial authorities are not required to have them. If a Territorial authority chooses to develop an LAP, once it is in place, the DLC and the Alcohol Regulatory and Licensing Authority (ARLA) will have to consider the policy when they make decisions on licence applications. 2.5 Under s 77 of the SSAA, a LAP may include policies on any or all of the following matters relating to licensing (and no others): (a) Location of licensed premises by reference to broad areas; (b) Location of licensed premises by reference to proximity to premises or facilities of particular kinds; Local Alcohol Policy Joint Committee Agenda Item: 5 Page 1 24/02/2014 File Ref: 14/101 (c) Whether further licences (or licences of a particular kind or kinds_ should be issued for premises in the district concerned, or any stated part of the district; Item 5 (d) Restriction or extension of the default maximum opening hours set out in the Act. These are 8am-4am for on-licenses (such as pubs, restaurants and bars) and 7am-11pm for off-licenses (such as bottle stores and supermarkets). (e) The issue of licences, or licences of a particular kind or kinds, subject to discretionary conditions; (f) One-way door restrictions. 2.6 LAPs cannot include policies on matters unrelated to licensing such as the price of alcohol, age limits for drinking or alcohol advertising and sponsorship. 2.7 If a council does not have a LAP in place, licensing decisions will be directed by the criteria set out in Section 105 of the SSAA and the default maximum opening hours in the absence of specific conditions. 2.8 Section 78 of the SSAA requires that if a territorial authority decides to develop a LAP it must have regard to: • The objectives and policies of its district plan; • The number of licences of each kind held for premises in its district; • The location and opening hours of each of the premises; • The number of licences of each kind held for premises in its district, and the location and opening hours of each of the premises; • Any areas in which bylaws prohibit alcohol in public places are in force; • The demography of the district’s residents; • The demography of people who visit the district as tourists or holiday makers; • The overall health indicators of the district’s residents; • The nature and severity of the alcohol-related problems arising in the district. 2.9 The specific information requirements identified under s78 of the SSAA considered in the development of the draft LAP for Hastings District and Napier City are attached in Attachment 2. Development of the Draft LAP 2.10 Both the Hastings District Council and Napier City Council resolved at their first Council meetings in 2013 to develop a LAP. Specifically Hastings Council resolved that, “Council develop a local alcohol policy” and that “Council Officers liaise with staff from Napier City Council regarding the development of a joint, or at least harmonised Local Alcohol Policy” and Napier resolved that, “staff initiate Local Alcohol Policy Joint Committee Agenda Item: 5 Page 2 24/02/2014 File Ref: 14/173 work on creation of a local alcohol plan” and that “staff liaise with Hastings District Council staff in order to draft harmonised Local Alcohol Plans”. 2.11 Since those first meetings the two Councils have resolved to develop a joint LAP. Napier resolved at their meeting on 18 September 2013 and Hastings at their meeting on 19 September 2013, that the Statement of Proposal and its attachments be adopted for the special consultative procedure in accordance with Section 83 of the Local Government Act 2002.

    25 June 2012 URBAN AIRSHED MODEL AND METEOROLOGICAL DATA SETS Airshed Modelling of Exposure to Particulates in the Hawke's Bay Region Prepared for Hawke's Bay Regional Council June 2012 Submitted to: Hawke's Bay Regional Council 159 Dalton Street EMT 12/08 Napier 4110 HBRC Plan No 4359 New Zealand Report Number. 1178104049_001_R_Rev0 Distribution: REPORT HAWKE'S BAY AIRSHED MODELLING Executive Summary This report addresses several air quality management issues of importance to the Hawke’s Bay Regional Council (HBRC), using meteorological and airshed dispersion modelling techniques. The report focuses on current and future levels of airborne fine particulate matter (PM10 – particles less than 10 micrometres in diameter) in the region, identification of peaks in PM10, effects of emissions reduction scenarios, cross- boundary dispersion, and compliance with the National Environmental Standard (NES) for 24-hour-average PM10 and World Health Organization (WHO) guideline for 24-hour-average PM2.5. It also gives a qualitative comparison of source apportionment and emissions inventory studies carried out in the region, and provides a suite of modelled meteorological data sets for use in dispersion modelling as part of industrial resource consent applications. Source-apportionment data were used to give an indication of naturally-occurring levels of PM10. These have been combined with airshed modelling results for the dispersion of PM10 from sources such as domestic heating, motor vehicles and industry. This work thus gives estimates of total PM10, from both anthropogenic and natural sources. The airshed model, TAPM, performed well in simulating peak PM10 concentrations measured at the HBRC air quality monitoring sites at Marewa Park and St John’s College.

  • Schedule 3: Crime Prevention Plan
    COP-11-07-310 APPENDIX 1 SCHEDULE 3: CRIME PREVENTION PLAN STANDARD T SCHEDULE 2: STANDARD TERMS AND CONDITIONSERMS ND CONDI Hastings District Council Crime Prevention Plan 2007 1. Introduction 1.1. This document sets forth the draft Crime Prevention Plan for Hastings District Council. Initially, a needs analysis looks at the community and then crime is analysed within the District with the major crime problems identified. The plan follows with the major issues, some broad goals and objectives. Directions for initiatives to meet these objectives are discussed in broad strategies only and are suggestions. It is the intent of the newly formed Governance Group working with the Community Development Team to ultimately prioritise the problems and approve the strategies and initiatives. 2. Needs Analysis 2.1. The needs analysis is broken into two parts. The first looks at Hastings District, general site, situation, and demographics. This section will also look at goals and aspirations of the Council specifically focussing on the Long Term Council Community Plan (LTCCP) and other planning documents including the past Crime Prevention Plan. The second section addresses crime specifically. Initially, NZ Police Crime Statistics for the Hastings Police Area (HPA) are reviewed, and national trends are considered when local information is not accessible. This crime analysis also utilises several timely documents procured by the Council such as the Hastings Crime Profile (June 2007) and Youth Violence Reduction Project (May 2007) and other documents such as the Project CARV (Curbing Alcohol Related Violence) Needs Analysis (June 2007). Information was also gathered from Police, staff involved with existing crime prevention initiatives, and the Safer Community Advisory Council via discussions, meetings, and a completed matrix tool (used to identify priorities of crime behaviours and causes to address).
