The Fire and Emergency New Zealand Act 2017 has removed from the jurisdiction of local authorities most of the responsibilities contained within the Bylaw. Council is therefore required to determine whether a bylaw remains the most appropriate way of addressing the remaining issues (sections 155(1) and 160 LGA). Retaining a bylaw would enable Council to fulfil its remaining responsibilities more flexibly through a wider range of authorised officers who would not otherwise be available to Council. If Council had no bylaw, Council staff would be limited in the actions they could take and by whom. Staff have reviewed the existing bylaw. The Fire and Emergency New Zealand Act 2017 inserted a new section 152B into the Local Government Act 2002. This provides that Council does not need to consult the public on this bylaw. Council is only required to consult Fire and Emergency New Zealand (FENZ) as the key stakeholders. Council has undertaken pre-consultation with FENZ. 3 December 2019 Page 6 of 10 7 A draft of a new bylaw has subsequently been prepared and is attached to the staff report for Elected Member determination. The following documents are included as appendices to the staff report: . Appendix 1 Draft Fire Control Bylaw 2019 (document number 10087909). Recommendation That the Strategic Planning and Policy Committee: a) RECEIVES the report of Graham Pollard, Strategic Projects Driver [document number 10122198]; and b) DETERMINES that a new Fire Control Bylaw is the most appropriate method for addressing Council’s remaining fire control responsibilities; and c) AGREES that the draft Fire Control Bylaw 2019 as set out in Appendix 1 [document number 10087909] is in the most appropriate form for addressing Council’s fire control responsibilities and does not give rise to any implications under the New Zealand Bill Of Rights Act 1990; and d) RECOMMENDS that Council adopts the draft Fire Control Bylaw 2019 as set out in Appendix 1 [document number 10087909] and thereby makes a new Waipa District Fire Control Bylaw 2019, effective from 1 January 2020. 12 AMENDMENTS TO THE WAIPA DISTRICT COUNCIL CLOSED CIRCUIT TELEVISION (CCTV) POLICY File: 10122204 Page: 167 - 187 The Waipa District Council Closed Circuit Television (CCTV) Policy for Community Safety in Public Places was adopted by the Strategic Planning and Policy Committee by resolution 2/19/26 on 5 March 2019. The purpose of the Policy is to: (a) Monitor and manage traffic at specific intersections and to investigate incidents that occur in those locations. 3 December 2019 Page 7 of 10 8 (b) Improve road user safety by monitoring traffic flow patterns and investigating traffic incidents. (c) Increase public safety by discouraging public disorder and anti-social behaviour. (d) Detect and capture evidence of offending to allow for a quick response from the Police, emergency services or Council and assist with investigations and prosecutions of offending in the Waipa District. (e) Actively deter offending in the Waipa District, including that which relates to Council assets or facilities. Work has continued during 2019 to install, configure and test the system hardware; and to recruit and train volunteers to monitor the live camera images. In doing so, a significant Policy omission has been identified. New Zealand Police has requested that this omission be rectified as it potentially affects the efficiency of Police operations and their ability to respond more effectively to incidents. In proposing this amendment, the opportunity is being taken to ask the Committee to adopt a number of minor amendments arising from changes to organisational titles. The following appendix/appendices accompanies this report: . Appendix 1 – Closed Circuit Television
