COUNCIL
Memorandum
TO: Community Development Committee
MEETING DATE: 16 October 2017
TITLE: Submissions on the draft Local Alcohol Policy
DATE: 4 September 2017
AUTHOR/S: Peter
Ridge, Policy Analyst, City Future
|
RECOMMENDATION(S) TO Community Development Committee
1. That
the oral and written submissions on the draft
Palmerston North Local Alcohol Policy 2017 be received.
2. That
the Community Development Committee note the Procedure for Hearing of
Submissions, as described in the Procedure Sheet.
|
1. ISSUE
The Council
has received 45 submissions on the draft Local Alcohol Policy. The
written submissions are included with the agenda for this meeting.
Eighteen submitters have asked to present oral submissions in support of their
written submissions.
2. BACKGROUND
On 26 June
2017, the Council approved the draft Palmerston North Local Alcohol Policy 2017
for public consultation. The period for written submissions began on 8
July and closed on 18 August 2017, complying with the requirement of the
Special Consultative Procedure for a minimum one month period for receiving
written submissions.
Over 350
people and organisations that were identified as having an interest in the
draft Local Alcohol Policy were directly contacted about the consultation
process. They were given access to the consultation documents and invited
to make a submission. They were also invited to contact Council officers
if they wanted to discuss the details of the proposal, and several people took
up this opportunity. They were also given the opportunity to have Council
officers attend a meeting of their organisation and be available for a
discussion of the proposal. One organisation, the Safety Advisory Board,
took up this opportunity.
In addition to
directly contacting identified stakeholders, the proposal was promoted to the
general public through posts on Facebook, a public notice lodged in the
Manawatū Standard and the Tribune, and the Square Circular. A press
release was provided to the media. Digital signage at the City Library
was also used to advertise the consultation process.
“Drop-in”
consultation sessions were held at the City Library and each of the branch
libraries during the week of 7-10 August. These sessions were 2 hours
long, held at various times during the day and evening, and provided people
with an opportunity to learn more about the proposed policy, to ask questions
and to get assistance in making a submission. The sessions were promoted
via Facebook and through in-library signage. The session at the Ashhurst
Library was also advertised in the Village Voice newsletter. Over the
five sessions held, approximately 35-40 people expressed interest in the
proposal and asked questions or took away information about the proposal.
3. Overview
of submissions
Preliminary
analysis of the written submissions indicates slightly more than half of
submitters – approximately 58% - were generally supportive of the
direction proposed by the draft Local Alcohol Policy. However, many
submitters indicated support for some aspects of the proposal whilst opposing
other aspects, which makes a simplified support/oppose analysis problematic.
Most
submitters expressed views on the proposed trading hours. A number of
submitters appear to have confused the proposed maximum trading hours for Club
licences (closing at 12am) with “night club”-type bars or pubs,
arguing that closing those types of premises at midnight would be too
restrictive. However, the proposal for Club licences only applies to
those premises which are “bona fide” clubs operating solely for the
benefit of registered members or their guests. Clubs of this type do not
include bars or pubs which are generally open to the public.
Just under
one-quarter of submissions were received from identified groups. The
remainder were received from individual members of the public or from
individual businesses.
4. NEXT
STEPS
Following the
hearing of these submissions, officers will prepare advice for the Council on
the points raised by submitters, with recommendations regarding any changes to
the draft Local Alcohol Policy that may be warranted, and the adoption or
otherwise of the draft policy. Given the complexity of the issues raised
and the counter-proposals contained in submissions, this advice is expected to
be presented to the March 2018 meeting of the Community Development
Committee.
