Moved Duncan McCann, seconded Aleisha Rutherford.

The COMMITTEE RESOLVED

1.   That the Committee determines under section 155(1) of the Local Government Act 2002 that a bylaw is the most appropriate way of addressing the issues relating to:

·    Controlling the quality of wastewater discharges into the wastewater network;

·    Proper identification of the point of discharge for wastewater connections;

·    Managing blockages and access to public wastewater assets on private property;

·    Identifying wastewater servicing areas;

·    Restricting building over wastewater assets;

·    Managing infiltration and inflow from poor connections;

·    Preventing unauthorised connections to the wastewater network; and

·    Protecting wastewater assets.

2.   That the Committee determines under section 155(2) of the Local Government Act 2002 that the standalone form of bylaw is the most appropriate form of bylaw.

3.   That the Committee determines under section 155(2) of the Local Government Act 2002 that a bylaw addressing wastewater activities is unlikely to give rise to any implications under the NZ Bill of Rights Act 1990.
