DRAFT LOCAL ALCOHOL POLICY General Manager responsible: General Manager Strategy and Planning, DDI 941-8281 Officer responsible: Strategic Policy Unit Manager, Strategy and Planning Group Author: Adair Bruorton, Senior Policy Analyst, Ruth Littlewood, Senior Policy Analyst, Siobhan Storey, Senior Policy Analyst PURPOSE OF REPORT 1. This report describes the information and views gathered, and consultation undertaken to prepare a draft Local Alcohol Policy (LAP), in accordance with the requirements of the Sale and Supply of Alcohol Act (2012). Options for a draft LAP are presented and preferred options are recommended. The report recommends that the Council adopt the proposed draft LAP (Attachment 1) so that the views of the community can be sought using the Special Consultative Procedure. EXECUTIVE SUMMARY 2. The Sale and Supply of Alcohol Act (2012) (the Act) allows councils to develop local alcohol policies (LAPs) which relate to the sale, supply, or consumption of alcohol within their districts. It is not mandatory to have a LAP. 3. Once a LAP is in place, the local District Licensing Committee (DLC) and the National Alcohol Regulatory and Licensing Authority (ARLA) must have regard to it when making decisions on alcohol licensing applications, along with assessing licence applications against the criteria set out in the Act (s105). 4. The Act aims to minimise alcohol-related harm, and ensure that the sale, supply and consumption of alcohol is undertaken safely and responsibly. Harm is defined broadly in the Act and includes crime, damage, death, disease, disorderly behaviour, illness or injury caused directly or indirectly by excessive or inappropriate consumption of alcohol. 5. The Act replaces the Sale and Supply of Liquor Act (1989) which liberalised New Zealand’s liquor licensing laws. The 1989 Act contributed to widespread changes in social drinking habits such as the introduction of Sunday trading of alcohol and a reduced purchase age. There has been a three-fold increase in licensed premises in Christchurch since 1989. 6. The Council decided unanimously in February 2013 to prepare a draft LAP. It agreed that addressing alcohol-related harm in the community is a priority for the Council and there is a need to act promptly to provide an appropriate, local licensing environment to complement the implementation of the new Act. 7. A LAP is a set of policies made by the Council in consultation with the community concerning the licensing of premises for the sale and supply of alcohol. 8. A LAP can deal only with licensing matters, specifically: Location of licences in particular areas or near certain types of facilities Density of licences in particular areas Conditions on groups of licences, such as one-way door restrictions 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 bottles stores and supermarkets). A LAP cannot include any broader provisions about the sale or consumption of alcohol e.g. minimum pricing or age restrictions for purchase. 9. If a council does not have a LAP in place, licensing decisions will be directed by the criteria set out in the Act (s105) and the default maximum opening hours (above). 10. The Council currently has an Alcohol Policy (2004) which addresses some licensing matters, however this policy is not legally enforceable and the new District Licensing Committee will have no regard for it. The new Act gives legal standing to LAPs that are developed according to its 6 PLANNING COMMITTEE 8. 5. 2013 3 Cont’d requirements. The Council’s Alcohol Restrictions in Public Places Bylaw (2009) and its three amendments will continue to be enforced. 11. As required in the Act, staff have consulted with the Police, Medical Officer of Health and Licensing Inspectors. In addition, views were sought also from a wide range of stakeholders and interested parties such as the hospitality sector, retailing representatives, health representatives, Community Boards and Māori. A survey of community views was completed, along with a social-media based survey of young people’s views, on alcohol-related harm and licensing matters. Meetings were held over several months with key stakeholders to identify issues relating to licensing matters. Two forums hosted by the Council brought together a wider range of over 140 stakeholders to discuss licensing matters. 12. The Planning Committee has considered key issues relating to licensing matters at several workshops and both Planning Committee and Council workshops considered preliminary policy provisions. Deputations from some key stakeholders were made to the Planning Committee and the Council at meetings during the draft policy’s development. 13. Stakeholders identified a range of key issues about licensing of premises to sell alcohol. There is a strong consensus from all stakeholders that ensuring safety and reducing alcohol-related harm in the community are high priorities. An underlying culture of pre- and side-loading and binge drinking is acknowledged by many stakeholders as the cause of much of the alcohol- related harm. Most stakeholders agree that a LAP can include positive policy interventions that can mitigate the negative effects of this drinking culture. The key options proposed in this report are: shorter maximum trading hours, than set in the Act, for on-licences and for off-licences shorter and varied maximum trading hours, than in the Act, for on-licenses in different areas of the city (maximum of 3am for premises in Central City Area A; maximum of 1am in Central City Area B and all other areas) one-way door conditions for premises holding on-licences. These will be mandatory in Central City Area A (1am one-way restriction with a 3am closing) and discretionary in Central City Area B and other areas (decided by the District Licensing Committee on a case by case basis) various discretionary conditions for on-licences, off-licences, club licences and special licences (again, decided by the District Licensing Committee on a case by case basis) restrictions on the location of bottle stores to business zones except within greenfields development areas. 14. This report recommends that the Council adopts a draft LAP, so that the views of the wider community can be sought through the special consultative procedure from 31 May until 1 July 2013. 15. Following hearings for submitters, the Council will prepare a provisional LAP based on consultation feedback. After the October 2013 local body elections, it is anticipated that the incoming Council will affirm the provisional LAP and give public notice of it early in 2014. Submitters on the draft LAP during the special consultative procedure will then have opportunity to appeal to ARLA on any element of the notified provisional LAP. This can be done on the grounds that an element is unreasonable in light of the object of the Act. After the resolution of any appeals by submitters, the Council can then adopt the provisional LAP for implementation. FINANCIAL IMPLICATIONS 16. The special consultative procedure, as defined in the Local Government Act 2002 will be required if the Council decides to adopt the draft LAP. The associated costs of this include printing and distribution of the statement of proposal and summary of information, the placement of public notices and staff costs in supporting a hearings panel. These costs, and the cost of the policy’s development, are budgeted for in the City and Community Long-Term Planning Activity in the Three Year Plan. 7 PLANNING COMMITTEE 8. 5. 2013 3 Cont’d Do the Recommendations of this Report Align with 2009-19 LTCCP budgets? 17. As above LEGAL CONSIDERATIONS 18. The Sale and Supply of Alcohol Act 2012 allows territorial authorities to make Local Alcohol Policies (LAPs) which relate to the sale, supply, or consumption of alcohol within their districts. It is not mandatory to have such a policy. 19. Under section 77(1), 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 of a particular kind or kinds: (c) location of licensed premises by reference to proximity to facilities of a particular kind or kinds: (d) 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: (e) maximum trading hours: (f) the issue of licences, or licences of a particular kind or kinds, subject to discretionary conditions: (g) one-way door restrictions.

Its physical features are dramatic, ranging from the majestic Southern Alps to the Canterbury Plains, from forested foothills to rocky coastlines and sandy beaches. These features also provide a wealth of recreational opportunities. The Department of Conservation’s Canterbury Conservancy is responsible for some 1293 units of land, and for the protection of important natural resources generally. To help manage these resources and activities the Conservancy, in consultation with the then North Canterbury and Aoraki Conservation Boards, has prepared a Conservation Management Strategy (CMS). The CMS sets out the management directions the Conservancy will take for the next ten years, the objectives it wants to achieve and the means by which it will achieve these. The draft CMS was released for public comment on 18 November 1995. Submissions closed on 1 April 1996, and 174 were received. Public oral submissions were heard in May and June of 1996. Consultation with Ngäi Tahu Papatipu Rünanga occurred from July to December 1996, and with Te Rünanga o Ngäi Tahu from July 1996 to May 1997. A summary of submissions and a decision schedule indicating the extent of acceptance of all submissions was prepared and given full consideration in revising the draft CMS. The revised draft CMS and summary of submissions was presented to the Conservation Boards for their consideration.

ICOMOS New Zealand takes the view that engineering advice that is sympathetic to heritage values is important and that the top-ranked heritage buildings that have come through the quake with only moderate damage are testaments to good engineering interventions of the last decade or so. As the diggers move in to Christchurch streets, Dr Ian Lochhead, (left) a board member of ICOMOS and Associate Professor of architectural history at the University of Canterbury urges the earthquake cleanup authorities to seek advice before making decisions on the fates of buildings. “Many buildings that look in a grim state can, in fact, be saved. There should be no precipitous clearing or removal of heritage buildings or structures, and priority should be given to stabilisation, repair, and reconstruction.” He said “Christchurch has a rich Damage to the octagonal room makes it region.

    FOSTERING THE RESILIENCE OF HERITAGE BUILDINGS IN NEW ZEALAND: POTENTIALITIES OF DECISION SUPPORT SYSTEMS Sonia GIOVINAZZI1, Shannon ABELING2, Francisco GALVEZ2, Stacy VALLIS23, Tatiana GODED4, Nick HORSPOOL5, Elena CALANDRA6, Jason INGHAM7 ABSTRACT The 2010-2011 Canterbury earthquake sequence (CES) in New Zealand, and further recent earthquake events worldwide, has shown the invaluable loss that earthquakes can cause to architectural heritage. This paper explores the potentiality and the extent to which Decision Support Systems (DSSs) might have on informing the decision- making processes towards thriving the resilience of heritage buildings to natural hazards, with special focus on earthquakes. In particular, in the paper, reference is made to RiskScape, the New Zealand DSS platform for assessing the risks from natural hazards, where the possibility to assess the seismic vulnerability of heritage buildings and to prove the effectiveness of different mitigation options, at territorial scale, has been already embedded, as far as churches are concerned. The idea would be to include further add-ins to RiskScape to contribute towards an ambitious initiative aiming to enhance the seismic resilience of heritage buildings in New Zealand. In this paper, the idea to include in RiskScape, as a first step, a database to foster the awareness of stakeholders and communities on their Cultural Heritage at risk, is firstly discuss. The already embedded RiskScape add-in that allows performing scenario analysis at territorial scale to assess direct and indirect impacts is then illustrated. Finally, a further add-in that enables the analysis at single building level to identify the most likely collapse mechanisms is illustrated. This could support the identification of effective mitigation strategies pre-event and of emergency management and repair/reconstruction strategies, post-event.

  • Normal School
    THE ARCHITECTURAL HERITAGE CHRISTCHURCH 1. The Normal School CHRISTCHURCH CITY COUNCIL TOW PLANNING DIVISION Preface Christchurch, unlike New Zealand's other main centres. has a charm that depends largely on features built or planned by man. The calm and dignity of the city owes much to its early buildings. and Christchurch's history can still be traced in the many examples that remain. Action by the New Zealand Historic Places Trust (Canterbury Regional Committee) and other public interest groups has. saved several important city buildings including the Provincial Government Buildings. Trinity Church, the Theatre Royal and the old University (now the Christchurch Arts Centre). Yet, as the city grows and changes, there is a continuing danger that historically or environmentally valuable buildings may be thoughtlessly or unnecessarily destroyed. The Christchurch City Council District Planning Scheme lists 190 historic buildings and objects, and provides opportunities and incentives for their retention, but although the scheme fosters a climate of preservation, it is, in the end, only the determination of the community which can effectively protect or revitalise those buildings it considers important. For this reason, a major aim of the present series of booklets is the identification and description of the city's most valuable historic buildings, in the hope that greater public awareness of their importance will contribute to their chances of survival. Even if preservation proves to be impossible in some cases, this series will gather together information, illustrations and analyses of each building to provide a published record of the rich architectural legacy inherited from previous generations. If these booklets encourage you to think about the historical'significance of this City's architecture, and if they heb clarify in your mind the special values of Christchurch's historic buildings, then they will have in part met their goal.

    “Christchurch was my home, seeing it falling into pieces is not easy.” The Canterbury Earthquakes inspired me to create a series of artwork on earthquake rubble that my friends and I collected off old Canterbury buildings that were damaged or demolish during/ after the 2011 earthquake. There were 50 pieces of work for sell in this series with one extra piece for my parent. The 6.3-magnitude earthquake on 22 February 2011 left the cathedral damaged Christchurch Cathedral and several surrounding buildings in ruins.
