| Denise McKenzie |
|
| Democracy advisor |
19 August 2009 |
Attaching a report considered by the City Development Committee at its 13 August
2009 meeting presenting the draft liquor licensing policy for the committee's
endorsement for public consultation. The committee resolved:
- That the City Development Committee notes
the development of the draft liquor licensing policy which has identified that:
- the policy should encourage and reward good
licensees
- the policy should allow for local variation
to match the different licensing needs of different areas (e.g. the Central
Business District should be treated differently to suburban residential areas)
- including incentives for rewarding good
management behaviour by incorporating host responsibility measures as licensing
conditions can contribute to a reduction in liquor-related harm
- off-license premises should have standardised
closing hours across the city.
- That the City Development Committee appoint
Councillors Mulholland (chairperson), Bhatnagar and Fryer for the Hearings Panel
to hear public submissions, and recommend a final liquor licensing policy to
Council.
- That it be a recommendation to Council:
- that the special consultative procedure be
commenced, to inform the Auckland City Council draft liquor licensing policy.
- that the following approach to liquor
licensing in Auckland city form the basis of the draft liquor licensing policy
for public consultation:
- graduated closing times for on-licences, with
increased host responsibility requirements and a consistent closing time for
off-licences
- that the summary of information, statement
of proposal and draft policy attached to the report of the community and social
policy manager dated 23 July 2009, be adopted as the basis for public
consultation for the special consultative procedure, with the following
amendments:
- that consistently through the document it
refers to "the provision of free drinking water" and "the opportunity to buy low
and non-alcoholic drinks" as a condition
- that the document emphasises the proposed
introduction of the entertainment precinct concept and invite public feedback on
the concept, which areas should be included or excluded and the boundaries of
those areas.
Recommending that the Board discuss the proposed introduction of the
entertainment precinct concept.
