At the close of
the agenda no apologies had been received.
2 Leave
of absence
At the close of
the agenda no requests for leave of absence had been received.
3 Conflict
of Interest
Councillors are
reminded of the need to be vigilant to stand aside from decision-making when a
conflict arises between their role as a councillor and any private or other
external interest they might have. It is also considered best practice for
those members in the Executive Team attending the meeting to also signal any
conflicts that they may have with an item before Council.
4 Public Forum
Notification to
speak is required by 5pm at least two days before the meeting. Further
information is available on www.southlanddc.govt.nz
or phoning 0800 732 732.
5 Extraordinary/Urgent
Items
To consider, and if
thought fit, to pass a resolution to permit the Council to consider any further
items which do not appear on the Agenda of this meeting and/or the meeting to
be held with the public excluded.
Such resolution is
required to be made pursuant to Section 46A(7) of the Local Government Official
Information and Meetings Act 1987, and the Chairperson must advise:
(i) The
reason why the item was not on the Agenda, and
(ii) The reason why the
discussion of this item cannot be delayed until a subsequent meeting.
Section 46A(7A) of the Local Government Official Information and Meetings
Act 1987 (as amended) states:
“Where an item
is not on the agenda for a meeting,-
(a) That item
may be discussed at that meeting if-
(i) That item is a minor
matter relating to the general business of the local authority; and
(ii) the presiding member
explains at the beginning of the meeting, at a time when it is open to the
public, that the item will be discussed at the meeting; but
(b) no resolution,
decision or recommendation may be made in respect of that item except to refer
that item to a subsequent meeting of the local authority for further
discussion.”

Alfresco
Dining Policy
Record No: R/15/5/8698
Author: Tamara
Dytor, Policy Analyst
Approved by: Rex Capil,
Group Manager, Policy and Community
☒
Decision ☐ Recommendation ☐ Information
Purpose
1 This
reports requests that Council approve the draft Alfresco Dining Policy.
The policy would supersede Council’s current Alfresco Type Dining Policy
(2003) and would enable Council to regulate this activity and apply appropriate
charges to businesses which offer alfresco dining.
Executive
Summary
2 The
Alfresco Dining Policy would allow Council to regulate alfresco dining and
charge fees in relation to this activity. Approving the policy would
enable Council to implement the fees and charges included in the draft Schedule
of Fees and Charges.
3 The
adoption of the draft Schedule of Fees and Charges will occur separately, as
part of the Long Term Plan 2015-2025 process. If the draft Schedule of
Fees and Charges is adopted it would take effect from 1 July 2015.
4 The
draft Alfresco Dining Policy was considered by the Policy Review Committee at
its meeting on 1 April 2015. At this meeting, the Policy Review Committee
recommended that the policy apply throughout the District and that Community
Boards and Community Development Area Subcommittees have discretion in choosing
whether or not to apply fees.
|
Recommendation
That the Council:
a) Receives
the report titled “Alfresco Dining Policy” dated 18 May 2015.
b) Determines
that this matter or decision be recognised as not significant
in terms of Section 76 of the Local Government Act 2002.
c) Determines
that it has complied with the decision-making provisions of the Local
Government Act 2002 to the extent necessary in relation to this decision; and
in accordance with Section 79 of the Act determines that it does not require
further information, further assessment of options or further analysis of
costs and benefits or advantages and disadvantages prior to making a decision
on this matter.
d) Adopts
the draft Alfresco Dining Policy.
|
Content
Background
5 Regulating
alfresco dining minimises hazards to the public, and ensures that restaurateurs
are responsible for their actions on Council property. The Alfresco Type
Dining Policy was adopted in 2003 and this is the first time it has been
reviewed.
6 Although
the 2003 policy prescribes fees, in recent years, the alfresco dining fees have
not been included in the Schedule of Fees and Charges. As a result they
have not been charged. This issue was highlighted during a review of the
draft Schedule of Fees and charges which formed part of the Long Term Plan
2015-2025 process. It is pertinent that a reviewed version of the
Alfresco Type Dining Policy (with the new fees structure) is adopted before the
implementation of the Schedule of Fees and Charges on 1 July 2015.
7 The
fees proposed in the draft policy have been set so as to not inhibit economic
development, and are lower than the alfresco dining fees of many other
councils. As per the recommendation of the Policy Review Committee, the
policy has been structured to enable Community Boards and Community Development
Area Subcommittees to apply discretion in whether or not these fees should be
charged in their areas. In some cases, it may be decided that applying
fees will inhibit economic development however, the policy would still allow
for a degree of regulation to occur.
Issues
8 Council
should consider the following:
· Whether
Council wishes to continue regulating alfresco type dining activity;
· Whether
Community Boards and Community Development Area Subcommittees should have
discretionary authority to remit fees (while still applying the policy).
9 In
considering the issue of alfresco dining, Council should consider its impacts
on economic growth and business sustainability as well as the vibrancy of
townships in the District.
Factors to Consider
Legal
and Statutory Requirements
10 In
dealing with alfresco licensing, Council should be aware of the following laws
and regulations:
· Building
Act (1991) and amendments;
· Food
Hygiene Regulations (1974) and amendments;
· Health
and Safety in Employment Act (1992) and amendments;
· Litter
Act (1979) and amendments;
· Local
Government Act (2002) and amendments;
· Public
Works Act (1981) and amendments;
· Resource
Management Act (1991) and amendments;
· Sale
and Supply of Alcohol Act (2012) and amendments;
· Southland
District Council Trading in Public Places Bylaw (2012).
11 It
is suggested that the Trading in Public Places Bylaw (2012) is reviewed in
future, so as to provide genuine enforcement opportunities in relation to this
policy. Currently, the Trading in Public Places Bylaw does not refer to
the Alfresco Dining Policy.
12 The
Policy states that there is a “three strike” policy, where written
warnings are sent out to non-compliant licence holders. However, genuine
enforcement would be challenging as there is no way to stop restaurateurs
carrying on without a licence,
eg, no ability to remove tables and chairs. It is encouraging that
Council has never had to undertake this type of measure; however, a review of
the bylaw would give Council leverage in the event that there were concerns
regarding compliance with the policy.
Community
Views
13 Those
affected (such as the business community and restaurateurs) would be identified
by Community Boards and Community Development Area Subcommittees and would be
alerted to the changes.
14 If
the policy were adopted, Community Boards and Community Development Area
Subcommittees would make a decision as to whether to remit fees relating to
alfresco dining. Interested parties could submit their views to the
appropriate Community Board or Community Development Area Subcommittee so that
they could be considered during the decision making process around
remissions.
Costs
and Funding
15 The
costs of the Alfresco Dining licences have been increased slightly to reflect
more accurately the costs incurred by Council to administer and monitor the
licencing of Alfresco Type Dining. This is minor, and is expected to
bring in revenue of ~$1,440 per annum (based on 12 restaurants currently known
as undertaking Alfresco Type Dining - 10 in Te Anau and two in Winton).
16 The
initial administration fees cover the Area Engineer’s time to check the
premise, as well at the financial costs of invoicing the restaurant; the annual
fees will provide revenue for local footpaths and also cover the invoice
costs.
17 The
fees in the Schedule of Fees and Charges (2015-2025) have been set at:
· Administration/Application
fee: $120.00 (one off);
· Occupation
fee calculated on the area used: $20.00 per m2 / per
year.
By comparison some fees from other
cities in New Zealand are:
· Auckland:
$69.00
per m2 / per year;
· Wellington
(CBD): $85.00
per m2 / per year;
· Taupo: $43.35
per m2 / per year;
· Queenstown: $185.00
per m2 / per year (highest fee per m2 in
New
Zealand);
· Gisborne: $0.00
- no fees at all.
Policy Implications
18 Alfresco
dining fees are included in the draft Schedule of Fees and Charges, which is
being considered as part of the Long Term Plan 2015-2025 process.
Adopting this policy would allow the fees included in the draft Schedule of
Fees and Charges to be implemented from 1 July 2015.
19
It is recommended that Council review the Trading in Public Places Bylaw within
the next year to align with the Alfresco Type Dining Policy and enable genuine
enforcement activity to be undertaken if required.
Analysis
Options Considered
20 Council
could choose to:
· Option
1: Adopt the draft Alfresco Dining Policy; or
· Option
2: Not adopt the draft Alfresco Dining Policy.
Analysis of Options
Option 1
|
Advantages
|
Disadvantages
|
|
· This
would allow the implementation of fees outlined in the draft Schedule of Fees
and Charges. These fees more accurately reflect the cost to Council
associated with this activity.
· This
draft policy allows Community Boards and Community Development Area
Subcommittees to apply an approach which is appropriate within local
townships.
· The
policy allows for more effective regulation of this activity by
Council.
|
· Allowing
fees to be charged for this activity may be unpopular with the business
community. There may be a perception that this policy is prohibitive to
economic development and sustainability.
|
Option 2
|
Advantages
|
Disadvantages
|
|
· No
significant advantages.
|
· Council
would need to determine if it would supersede the 2003 policy and not
regulate this activity or continue to apply the existing policy.
· If
Council chose to apply the existing policy, fees would still need to be
included in the draft Schedule of fees and Charges however; there would be no
option for Community Boards and Community Development Area Subcommittees not
to apply the fees in certain townships.
|
Assessment of Significance
21 This
issue has not been assessed as significant. It affects a small number of
stakeholders and is does not have substantial financial implications.
Recommended Option
22 It
is recommended that Council adopt the draft Alfresco Dining Policy (Option
1). This would allow the Community Boards and Community Development Area
Subcommittees to consider whether or not they wished to apply fees and for
Council to implement the fee structure appropriately once local decisions had
been made.
Next Steps
23 If
Council adopts this policy, Community Boards and Community Development Area
Subcommittees will need to be advised regarding the need to decide whether
charges should apply in their area. This process should occur in
consideration of local views.
24 In
areas where charges will apply, affected parties would need to be advised of
the changes and invoiced appropriately.
25 Area
Engineers would need to inspect areas which were not previously approved for
alfresco dining and measure the meterage for which charges will apply.
26 If
the policy is adopted, it is recommended that a review of the Trading in Public
Places Bylaw is undertaken within the next 12 months.

ALFRESCO DINING POLICY
1. PURPOSE
Alfresco
dining in public spaces brings vibrancy to towns within the District,
suggesting street life and energetic towns. Outdoor seating areas for
food service provide a space for social interaction and the opportunity to rest
and observe street activity. They also increase the sense of safety and
security in the streets, due to increased occupancy.
These
areas also provide restaurant and café owners with the opportunity of
extending business and promoting patronage with a more visible presence,
promoting economic development in our townships.
The
Alfresco Dining Policy (the Policy) has been developed to regulate the use of
street dining furniture so as to keep our streets clean, safe and not hindering
pedestrian flow while encouraging our towns to be dynamic.
For
regulations regarding sandwich boards, please see the District Plan.
2. DEFINITIONS AND ABBREVIATIONS
|
Term
|
Meaning
|
|
Alfresco Dining
|
The serving and eating of food in a public space, namely
footpaths, in open air or under a tent, marquee or other temporary shelter.
|
3. POLICY DETAILS
3.1 Background
Principles by which
decisions regarding the Policy are made are:
· Licensing activities on footpaths should be reflective
of Council’s vision and mission.
· Pedestrian priority should be enhanced to facilitate
efficient and safe walking routes in our townships and encourage people to walk
as their primary mode of transport through townships.
· Streetscapes of our townships should be vibrant, safe
and attractive, and when setting any rebate, Council will consider how a
proposed activity might positively contribute to achieving this principle.
· Our townships should provide opportunities for
pedestrians to participate in the public environment through leisure, retail,
recreation and entertainment activities.
· Businesses and groups that use footpaths should do so
in a fair and balanced way, that does not impair safe and efficient pedestrian
movement. Footpaths shall be managed in accordance with:
o Relevant Council guidelines and the District Plan.
o NZ standard 4121:2001 Design of Access and Mobility
- Buildings and Associated Facilities (NZS4121) for accessible journeys and
design elements.
o Relevant legislation and standards for health and
safety and advertising.
3.2 Regulations
To
be able to have street furniture for use in alfresco dining, restaurateurs must
hold a current licence for alfresco dining, obtained from Council.
A minimum of 1.5 metres of
footpath will be available for pedestrian use at all times.
Umbrellas shall be confined to
the area and not encroach onto the pedestrian way, and shall be at a height
that is safe for pedestrians.
Alfresco dining and associated
street furniture must be confined to the area of footpath directly outside the
premises. Any other locations will be determined on a case-by-case basis
through the relevant Area Engineer on advice from the Community Board or
Community Development Area Subcommittee.
This policy will apply to each
town across the District unless a Community Board or Community Development Area
Subcommittee has advised Council that they do not wish to charge fees in their
area. In this case, the policy will still apply; however, the fees will
be remitted.
3.3 Licensing and
Applications
An initial application to have
alfresco dining is to be made in writing and approval will be granted by the
appropriate Area Engineer after consultation with the Community Board/Community
Development Area Subcommittee and inspection of the premise by an Area Engineer.
All applications must contain:
· A
map of the location of any street plantings/trees and Council-owned street
furniture.
· A
sketch showing the location of any proposed chairs, umbrellas, outdoor heating
devices and any other furniture that will be used in this activity.
· Proposed
hours of operation.
· Letters
of support from the adjoining (on either side of the location and the same side
of the street) business owners or lessees will be obtained.
Council staff can request other nearby business/lessees’ opinions if
the alfresco dining furniture is likely to have an effect on them.
· Proof
of building consent (if applicable).
· Proof
of valid Alcohol Premise Licence (if applicable).
· Proof
of public liability (refer to Section 3.4).
Any building as defined in
Section Three of the Building Act (1991) that is required for this activity
shall require a building consent unless it is exempted by the
Third Schedule of the Building Act (1991).
If the restaurateur holds an
Alcohol Premise Licence, they must show that they intend to either obtain a new
Alcohol Premise Licence for this area, or how they will not serve alcohol in
that area.
Once granted, licences will be
placed on property files as an advice for all Council staff dealing with the
property.
Individual
licences shall be issued by the local Area Engineer in consultation with the
Property Department and relevant elected body, and shall be valid for a maximum
period of three years, before renewal is necessary.
3.4 Operational Details
Licensees will hold public
liability for a minimum of $1,000,000 and shall take full responsibility for
indemnifying Council against any claims, demands, or actions made upon Council
arising out of licensees’ operations.
Licensees will be responsible for
keeping their licence areas clean and tidy. All stained or damaged
pavement surfacing must be cleaned or replaced promptly by licensees at no cost
to Council.
Licensees must control all litter
arising from their activities and shall not use Council provided street litter
bins for this purpose.
Licensees are not able to assign
or sublet the licensed area without the approval of Council.
Licensees will comply with all statutory requirements,
Acts, Regulations, Bylaws, Ordinances, Rules and lawful directions of Council,
including but not limited to, the following:
· Building
Act (1991) and amendments;
· Food
Hygiene Regulations (1974) and amendments;
· Health
and Safety in Employment Act (1992) and amendments;
· Litter
Act (1979) and amendments;
· Local
Government Act (2002) and Amendments;
· Public
Works Act (1981) and amendments;
· Resource
Management Act (1991) and amendments;
· Sale
and Supply of Alcohol Act (2012) and amendments;
· Southland
District Council Trading in Public Places Bylaw (2012).
Where the applicant for a licence
to occupy a public place is the holder of an On Licence, then the
occupation of the public place may not commence until such time as the
applicant has sought and obtained an Alcohol Premise Licence before the sale
and consumption of liquor can occur in the alfresco dining specified area.
3.5 Fees
Fees are to be set by Council
(inclusive of GST) and will consist of an administration fee and annual fees
(or part thereof), as set out in the Schedule of Fees and Charges. Annual
fees for the first year of a licence are pro rata.
The Community Board or Community
Development Area Subcommittee for each area will decide whether or not fees in
relation to this activity shall be remitted. In the case of remission,
other regulatory aspects of this policy still apply.
3.6 Enforcement
If a licence holder does not comply with the conditions of
this policy, the Council will, on the first occasion:
· Provide
information to ensure all parties know what is required.
· Verbally
notify the business, individual or group of the issue and provide a warning to
the business, individual or group of the issue and provide a warning of the
consequences of future violation of the policy.
For a second violation of the
policy, the Council will provide a written second warning to the business,
group or individual identifying the issue(s), required remedy and timeframe,
and consequences of future violation of the policy.
For a third violation of the
policy, the Council will take appropriate action, selecting from such options
as revocation of the licence.
3.7 Revocation of Licence
The Area Engineer, as directed by
the local Community Board, Community Development Area Subcommittee, and/or
Council, may revoke an Alfresco Type Dining Licence. This would be for
significant breaches of the policy that are unable to be resolved by other
means (such as verbal or written warnings).
3.8 Transitional
Procedures
This policy will take effect from
1 July 2015. Current licence holders will not be required to re-apply for
licences, but will be required to pay their annual fees from this date. Any
restaurants currently operating alfresco dining without a licence will be
required to apply for a licence and pay the licence application fee.

Background
3 On
18 March 2015 Council adopted the draft Dog Control Policy and bylaw, and
publicly notified and invited submissions on the proposal closing at 5.00 pm on
Thursday,
30 April 2015, and set the period 2 to 4 June 2015 for hearings.
4 Council
received 54 submissions. Some Community Board submissions propose changes
to the local dog access rules in the draft Statement of Proposal, they are
summarised in Attachment B. Some of these proposed changes
are significant.
5 While
staff sought to get local feedback with a survey of all Community Boards and
Community Development Area Subcommittees earlier this year; presenting reports
at their meetings proved to be more effective.
Issues
Consequence
of accepting significant changes
6 Council’s
solicitor has recommended that the period of consultation is extended to allow
the opportunity for submissions to be made on the significant changes to the
dog access rules, should Council wish to adopt the changes in the statement of
proposal.
7 Council’s
solicitor has advised that other matters raised in the submissions should be
considered after the extended consultation period has completed.
Factors to Consider
Legal
and Statutory Requirements
8 The
recommendation of this report is in accordance with legal advice
received.
Community
Views
9 The
community is being consulted via the special consultative procedure.
From the Department of Internal
Affairs:
“The development of a Council’s
dog policy is an opportunity to discuss and debate dog control issues with the
community (including both dog owners and non-dog owners). It will confirm the
mandate or level of support for the Council’s approach.”
Pre-draft surveys have been completed
and results were incorporated into the draft Statement of Proposal.
Costs
and Funding
10 Some
costs are associated with extending the consultation period, such as more
public notices and additional staff time.
Policy
Implications
11 The
statement of proposal is intended to replace Council’s Dog Control Policy
2010.

Assessment of Significance
15 This
review is considered to be not significant in accordance with Council’s
Significance and Engagement Policy. However as the Bylaw is likely to
have a significant impact on the public, due to the introduction of multiple
dog licensing and a discounted fee structure, staff have chosen to use the
special consultative procedure in accordance with Section 156(1)(a)(i).
Recommended Option
16 To
extend the period of consultation.
Next Steps
17 The
updated drafts will go out for public consultation, being publicly available
from
6 June 2015 and the consultation period extended closing at 5.00 pm on 6 July
2015.
18 Hearings
will be organised once the submission period has closed.
19 It
is proposed that the Dog Control Bylaw 2015 and the Dog Control Policy 2015
will be adopted at Council’s meeting on 5 August 2015 subject to any
changes which may result from the public submission process, and come into
force on 8 August 2015.

Regional Development Strategy
1 Work
is continuing with the Regional Development Strategy Project.
2 The
Steering Committee has now met on a number of occasions with the main focus
being on developing an overall framework for the strategy document itself and
agreeing on the priorities which should be included in the strategy.
3 The
contractor assisting with development of the Strategy is undertaking a number
of stakeholder interviews. This process is being undertaken to test the
Steering Group thinking to date and to ensure that we receive input from a wide
cross section of the community.
4 At
this stage the Steering Group remains on target to have a draft strategy
produced by the end of June.
Haast Hollyford Road
5 At its meeting on 22 April 2015, Council passed resolutions
acknowledging that the development of the proposed Haast Hollyford Road is a
project that potentially has merit. Council also identified that it wants
to undertake a community consultation process to enable it to develop an
understanding of the range of views that might exist on the project.
6 In accordance with the resolutions passed at that meeting,
officers have written to
Haast Hollyford Highway Ltd (HHHL) seeking clarification as to the range of
information, relative to the April 2013 Activities Performance Audit Committee
(APAC) resolutions, that they are able to provide and the timeframes within
which the information might be able to be provided. The letter also makes
it clear that officers are happy to meet with HHHL to discuss the process that
they envisage being followed to consider and subsequently make decisions on the
project. At the date of writing this report a response had not been
received from HHHL.
Around the Mountains Cycle
Trail (AMCT)
7 The
decision of the Commissioner on the resource consent application for Stage 2 of
the AMCT was issued in mid-March. The consent has now been appealed by
Fish and Game New Zealand to the Environment Court. The Court is yet to
set a timetable for potential mediation and/or hearing of the appeal.
8 Work
is also underway with the development of Stages 6 and 7 from Mossburn through
to Centre Hill. These stages are not affected by the Stage 2 resource
consent process.
9 Council
has recently received confirmation of a grant of $250,000 from the Community
Trust of Southland and $20,000 from the Walking Access Commission towards the
cycle trail. In light of these recent decisions and the appeal by Fish
and Game, officers are currently reviewing the financial projections for the
project through to completion. A report will be taken to APAC in the near
future.
Earthquake-prone Buildings
10 The
Minister for Building and Housing has recently outlined a number of changes to
the previously announced Earthquake-prone Buildings Regime.
11 The
timeframes for assessing and then upgrading earthquake-prone buildings is to be
changed to reflect the level of risk in different localities.
12 Different
localities are to be categorised into low, medium and high seismic risk
areas. For much of Southland, it appears that most of our communities
will be categorised into either the low or medium risk zones. The
timeframes for assessment of buildings in the medium zone will be 10 years and
15 years for low risk zones. The timeframe within which the upgrading of
buildings will need to be completed is lengthened to 25 and 35 years for the
medium and low risk zones respectively. Education and emergency
management buildings will need to be upgraded within half the timeframes for
the zone within which they are located.
13 The
range of buildings which will need to be assessed under the regime is also to
be reduced so as to exclude farm buildings, retaining walls, fences, monuments,
wharves, bridges, tunnels and storage tanks.
14 The
Select Committee is expected to report back to Parliament on the Bill by July
with passage of the Act expected to be completed later this calendar
year. Officers will continue to monitor the passage of the legislative
amendments through Parliament.
Milford Tsunami Risk
15 Work
completed by Dr Jesse Dykstra from GNS has highlighted a risk of a tsunami
occurring in Milford Sound if there was a large landslide trigged by an
earthquake on the Southern Alpine fault. A number of scientists have been
saying that a movement in the fault is long overdue. It is estimated that
there is a 30 percent probability of an earthquake of
magnitude 8 occurring within the next 50 years somewhere along the fault.
What impact such an earthquake would have on Milford Sound would depend on
where it was centred and its severity.
16 The
risk assessment work completed to date calculates the tsunami risk for an
individual tourist visiting Milford Sound for a day to be less than other
causes of visitor death in
New Zealand, such as from road accidents or ill health. The risk for
workers in Milford Sound is higher and is similar to that of those working in
the mining or forestry industries.
17 A working group of local and central government agencies has been set
up to develop and implement a hazard risk management plan which will include a
Fiordland major incident response plan.
Southern NZ Cruise Strategy
18 Work
is underway to develop a Southern NZ Cruise Strategy. The strategy will
identify the opportunities which might exist to maximise the benefits of
visiting cruise ships for Southland’s communities and economy. As
part of this process, the strategy will look at the current and future
challenges which act as barriers to maximising the benefit of the industry
including an assessment of the costs and levies associated with visiting
Southland now.
19 A
request for proposals for development of the strategy has been released and it
is hoped that much of the work will be able to be completed by the end of June.
Te Anau Wastewater
20 At
its March meeting Council agreed to form a Te Anau Wastewater Discharge Project
Committee to provide governance oversight for the wastewater project.
21 Nominations
for membership of the Committee have now been put forward by the Te Anau
Community Board, Manapouri CDA and Te Ao Mārama Incorporated.
Council will be asked to confirm the appointment of these representatives as
part of a separate order paper item.
22 Officers
have also progressed the drafting of terms of reference for the proposed
peer review process and initiated an Expressions of Interest process for
consultants who might be interested in undertaking the peer review.
23 The
draft terms of reference and selection of a consultant for the peer review will
be considered by the first Project Committee meeting which has been scheduled
for 17 June.
Local Government Sector
Performance
24 In
mid-May, Local Government NZ (LGNZ) announced a proposed national programme to
lift the performance of the local government sector. The programme will
focus on the identification of good practice material and associated training
programmes in the governance, financial management, asset management, community
engagement and stakeholder relationship areas. This programme has been
put in place in response to issues raised through a survey process undertaken
in 2014 to measure the reputation of the sector.
25 The
good practice guidance and training programmes being put in place through this
programme will be of relevance to this Council. As it is developed,
officers will look at how the outputs from the programme might be used to
assist with our own in-house service development initiatives.
Ultra-Fast Broadband
26 In
March the Government announced a decision to extend funding for the Ultra-Fast
Broadband (UFB) and Rural Broadband Initiative (RBI) programmes, and to
establish a new Mobile Black Spot Fund (MBSF).
27 Venture
Southland is pulling together an application for funding from the scheme on
behalf of Council and the wider Southland region.
Environment
and Community Group
28 The
proposed Dog Control Policy and Bylaw consultation closed on 30 April, with
considerable interest being shown through the submissions received. A number
of Community Boards and CDAs have requested localised changes to dog control in
their respective areas. As a result, there will be a need to extend the
community consultation process to allow the affected communities the
opportunity to comment.
29 The
District Plan mediation process has been delayed due to the status of
Environment Southland's Regional Policy Statement which has a number of
proposed changes to issues raised in the appeals, particularly relating to
biodiversity. Officers are, however, continuing discussions with
appellants which has seen some positive progress made towards possible
resolution of several appeals.
30 Following
on from the recent successful IANZ reaccreditation process, the Building
Control section is following up on a number of the recommendations made by
IANZ. A separate report on the outcome from the reaccreditation process
and the intended follow-up actions on each of the recommendations is being
presented to the APAC Committee at its 3 June meeting.
31 As
part of a review of Council’s approach to the delivery of Customer
Services, a stocktake is currently being undertaken of our Area Office network
in terms of the consistency of levels of service and branding throughout the
network.
Environmental Health
32 The
provisional Combined Local Alcohol Policy (LAP) Committee has received two
appeals which will be heard by the Alcohol Regulatory and Licensing Authority
later this year.
The Combined LAP Committee of the three councils will consider the appeals at a
meeting on 14 May 2015 and advise their solicitor who will represent the
Committee at the hearing.
33 The
Policy Review Committee has given feedback to officers concerning the review of
the Public Places Liquor Control Bylaw 2005. With the unexpected need to
continue consultation on the Dog Control Bylaw 2015, and the possibility of
consulting on a
Freedom Camping Bylaw in August-September, it is proposed to present the draft
Alcohol Control Bylaw to Council in September. This avoids excessive
concurrent consultation.
Area Offices
34 Debbie
Williams has been appointed to the position of Area Officer, Winton.
Debbie will be involved in a governance role, with three CDAs, namely, Browns,
Dipton and
Limehills-Centre Bush, plus in the long term, the Winton Community Board.
35 The
2015 Community Boards’ Conference is being held at Waitangi from 14 - 16
May.
Rae Wilson, of the Wallacetown Community Board, is the only delegate attending
from our CBs/CDAs.
36 Athol
CDA is currently short of two members and expressions of interest are currently
being sought for these vacancies.
37 Due
to a lack of applications from organisations within the defined area, the Ohai
Railway Fund Committee’s May allocation meeting was cancelled.
Library Activities
Staffing
38 The
Technical Services Librarian position is currently being advertised and, once
filled, this will allow Roslyn Gray to take up the Team Leader position.
Events
39 A
number of Libraries had ANZAC displays over the 100 year celebration period.
40 A
Spring Surprise exhibition is planned for August-September to display local
arts and crafts completed over the winter months, similar to the very
successful exhibition held last March.
Corporate
and Financial Services Group
Long Term Plan
41 The
Long Term Plan consultation document and other key policies were adopted at the
Council meeting on 18 March 2015. These documents were made publicly
available and submissions closed on Tuesday, 21 April 2015.
42 Copies
of the consultation document were distributed to each household around the
weekend of 28 March 2015 and the documents were also made available on
Council’s consultation website www.abettersouthland.co.nz with hard
copies available at each of the area offices. The Mayor and Ward
Councillors, along with senior staff, were involved in running six drop-in
sessions across the district to discuss LTP issues.
43 In
total, 120 submissions were received and 26 people indicated that they wish to
speak to their submissions. The hearings were held on 19 and 20 May 2015.
Overall, the submissions are supportive of Council’s proposals although
there are some who do not agree. The main area in which there is concern
is around Council’s current approach to liquor licensing fees and the
roading rate model. Meridian has also requested a differential be used to
reduce its rating liability on the Manapouri Power Station.
44 Following
the hearing of submissions, Council will make decisions on the submissions
received on 20 and 21 May 2015. The LTP document itself will then need to
be updated and reviewed by Audit NZ before being adopted at the 24 June 2015
Council meeting.
At that time, Council will also set the rates for 2015/16.
Services
and Assets Group
Asset Management Plan Project
45 Now
that the Asset Management Plans have been adopted we have moved into the next
three yearly cycle of use and development. The first stage of that cycle
is to develop improvement plans for each asset management plan including a
detailed work programme for the next 30 months leading into the 2018 LTP.
Te Anau Airport - Manapouri
Safety
46 A
recent discussion with the Health and Safety/HR Manager has highlighted minor
changes required to the airport’s Health and Safety System.
Although during the discussions it was identified that all components are
compliant, the relationship between the contractors and the Council needs
further clarification.
47 A
joint venture emergency exercise between the NZ Fire Service and the Airport is
in the planning stage for September 2015. A request for an aviation
related exercise was received from the Fire Service in April. This
coincides with our Part 139 requirement for an actual exercise every two
years. Last year a familiarisation/table top exercise was conducted to refresh
emergency services to the Convair aircraft. This will also be needed for
the
F50 aircraft early next summer season.
Assets
48 There
have been no further changes to assets owned and operated by the airport apart
from a fencing project which is about to begin, to protect the public from the
airport’s sewerage infrastructure.
49 An
approach from a representative from Air New Zealand has been made to dispose of
older type aircraft tugs. There have been a number of occasions where a
suitable vehicle has been required to move larger aircraft. The cost
benefit to aircraft operators by reducing engine starts would be significant
and could justify a slight increase in our ground handling fees and increase in
our capability. A cost for a tug has not been established yet but is
anticipated to be around $2,000.
SIESA (PowerNet)
Assets
50 A
new diesel generator has been ordered for replacing the old G5 generator.
The new unit will likely be delivered in May 2015 and installed by June 2015.
Projects
51 Several
small projects are proposed. All have been identified in the Asset
Management Plan and budgeted for accordingly:
· Ring
Main Feeder connection (Stage 1 - to connect the gap in the two line supplies);
approval has been issued and material orders have been issued.
· Ring
Main Feeder connection (Stage 2 - to upgrade the line supply to the sewerage
system and also to two dwellings on the old supply); information provided and
awaiting approval.
· Replacement
of the emergency generator connection to the grid as a general generation
unit. Approval has been issued and the new generator has been
ordered. Awaiting confirmation of delivery date (expected in May 2015).
· Review
of the location of the fuel tanks and associated oil bunding, or replacement of
old fuel pumps and construction of associated oil bunding. To be reviewed
for compliance.
· Painting
of the Powerhouse is currently underway.

elements to extend its operational life. Scope and specification
completed. Approval has been issued. The new building is
under construction with only a few minor items to be addressed.
· Day
tank replacement or improved supply system. Approval has been
issued.
The new day tank has been delivered to site.
· Fit
new surge arrestors at the cable terminations on the pole outside the
Powerhouse. To be considered with the scope and specification of the
connection of the new generator (replacement of the emergency generator
connection to the grid as a general generation unit).
· A
new diesel generator to replace the old Units 1 and 2 is under consideration.
Forestry (IFS)
Safety
52 There
were no health and safety incidents reported for this period.
53 Two
hazards were identified around electric and barb wire fences by the pruning
crew at Ohai. All subsequent corrective actions have been completed to
prevent injury from these hazards including removal of the barb wire and
awareness of the locality of electric fence boundaries.
Assets
54 Forest
inventory plotting work has been awarded to Interpine and will commence shortly
across the Southland District Council estate. This work allows for
prediction of future timber yield to assist with the annual forest valuation
and medium to long term harvest planning. The annual forest valuation
will be carried out by mid-2015 to meet auditing and financial reporting
deadlines.
Asset Management Improvement
Plan Update
55 The draft Forest Estate Plan
has been provided to the Forest Operations Committee.
Projects
56 Considerable
effort has been put into improving security in Southland District Council
forests over recent months. Now that security is improved, it is timely
to review options around recreational access to forests. IFS Growth will
prepare a report for the next
Forestry Committee meeting. Initial scoping may include managing both
Ohai and Waikaia as community forests to allow free foot and non-motorised
access to the public, and restricting access in Gowan Hills and Dipton.
This is dependent on the hazards within the forests being identified and
managed accordingly.
57 The
ownership status of forest land that is not currently held in freehold by the
Southland District Council is being investigated with a view to transferring
these parcels to freehold ownership. This is being carried out within the
Southland District Council and will guide decisions around possible disposal of
land, from the forestry estate, eg the area occupied by stand 29/1 at Ohai,
which is a small isolated area from the main forest block.
Property
Assets
Public Conveniences
58 Work
is about to commence on the public toilet upgrade at Garston and the new toilet
at Athol. Both are planned for completion before the end of June.
Community Centres
59 Officers
are awaiting the provision of plans for the Memorial Hall upgrade in Winton.
60 A
first draft of the plans for upgrading of the Edendale Rugby Club buildings
into a multi-use community centre have been received. These plans are to
be given to a working group of club and Community Board members to view and
comment on prior to final costs being sought from a quantity surveyor.
Council Offices and Other
Buildings
61 All
painting projects have been completed as well as external repairs to the Winton
office as a result of a vehicle hitting the building.
Water and Waste
Te Anau Wastewater Update
62 Council’s
application for resource consent to irrigate treated wastewater to land north
of the airport at Kepler has now been granted approval. The consent has
been approved for a period of 25 years and is subject to 29 conditions laying
out a rigorous monitoring and reporting programme. Three appeals have
been lodged with the Environment Court with all stating a willingness to enter
mediation talks. The appeal period for the District Plan Designation runs
through to mid-May. Mediation is currently on hold until the outcome of
the appeal period on the Designation expires.
63 A
Terms of Reference for a peer review has been drafted and will be presented to
the newly formed governance group for consideration in mid-June.
64 A
short term consent for continued discharge to the Upukerora and a discharge to
air for the oxidation pond site is currently being processed by Environment
Southland.
Curio Bay
65 Council
is currently working with the Department of Conservation and the South Catlins
Development and Environmental Charitable Trust to implement a sustainable long
term wastewater treatment solution for the reserve. This work is part of
a wider project to help improve the overall visitor experience at the reserve.
66 Resource
consent has been granted for an upgrade of the wastewater treatment facilities
for the reserve with the long term goal of also connecting the wider
community. The treatment solution based on membrane technology would
treat the effluent to an extremely high standard which is in keeping with the
unique status of the area. The plant is identical to one operated by
Department of Conservation at its Papatowai campsite further up the
Catlins coast. Officers are continuing to develop a procurement plan
while options for funding the balance of the costs are outlined in the Long
Term Plan.
Riverton Water Supply
67 Work
has now been completed on the installation of a new borehole for Riverton water
supply.
68 Following
this, a contract has been awarded to upgrade the treatment plant so as to meet
new Drinking-water Standards.
69 Stage
1 of chlorine dosing and aeration to correct pH and remove iron has now been
completed. Further testing is being undertaken to enable finalisation of
detailed design for Stage 2.
70 Stage
2 will see the installation of a membrane filtration plant to reduce the
overall hardness of the water.
Stormwater Consents
71 Environment
Southland is currently processing consent applications for 17 of our stormwater
schemes. Site visits for all schemes have been undertaken and Council
officers have tabled what we believe to be appropriate monitoring and consent
conditions consistent with the scale of the activities and the potential
financial implications for a small ratepayer base.
Wastewater Resource Consent
Renewals
72 Applications
have been lodged at Environment Southland for the following wastewater resource
consents:
• Ohai
- currently seeking affected party written approval.
• Riversdale
- pre-hearing meeting held February 2015, suggested draft conditions submitted
to Environment Southland.
• Nightcaps
- pre-hearing meeting held 28 April, draft conditions currently being drafted.
• Riverton
Rocks - currently seeking affected party written approval.
Health and Safety
73 Nothing
new to report.
Wheelie Bin Three Strike Policy
74 Inspections
have been undertaken since February although strikes will only be applied from
mid-April. In addition there has been considerable media coverage around
the matter and further public relations/educational material will be supplied to
front line staff prior to the policy going live. As of 30 April 2015, bin
inspections are being targeted in Invercargill so there have been only a small
number of bins not emptied due to contamination, hence a low number of strikes
issued.
Operations and Community
Services
People
75 Chris
Klein has now officially been confirmed as the new ‘Team Leader Work
Scheme’ and has already taken over the management of all work scheme
issues.
76 Brendan
Gray (currently at Fulton Hogan) has accepted the role as Area Engineer and
will start in his new role in Council on 18 May. Brendan will take over
Irwin Harvey’s area.
At Fulton Hogan, Brendan was a member of the “Foveaux - Roading
Maintenance Alliance Team” for many years and is therefore already
familiar with this region and its roading network demands.
Work Schemes
People
77 The
number of offenders has improved slightly in the last few weeks but they are
still quite low and not very reliable, which makes it difficult for the Work
Scheme to plan ahead and to commit to larger projects.
78 We
are preparing documentation for Probation with a detailed description of the
comprehensive Work Scheme service portfolio and the potential “Work and
Living Skills” that offenders could learn in working with the Work
Scheme.
79 We
expect that this will make it easier for Probation to select the right type of
offenders and it should boost the offender numbers for the Work Scheme to a
more manageable level.

Summary/Comments:
Although both
consent numbers and project values for the month of April have dropped off by
9% and 38% respectively, overall these figures are still up by 8% and 30% so
far for the financial year. New dwellings, dwelling alterations,
commercial buildings and garages consent numbers have dropped back from those
of April 2014. Although dairy shed numbers have also dropped back,
general farm building numbers are up slightly from 27 to 34 for the month.

Content
Background
4 At
its meeting held 18 March 2015, Council resolved to adopt a new speed limits
bylaw, titled Southland District Council Speed Limits Bylaw 2015.
5 Council
also resolved that the public consultation process under Sections 82A, 83, 83AA
and 86 of the Local Government Act 2002 be commenced with regard to the
proposed new Bylaw. Council’s intention was publicly notified, with
submissions closing 24 April 2015.
6 There
were no submissions received from the public, however submissions were received
from New Zealand Transport Agency and AA Southland Region as part of the
consultation process with affected stakeholders.
7 It
is now necessary to complete the process by considering the submissions
received and adopting the Bylaw having regard to the submissions received.
Issues
8 There
are no significant issues to be considered.
9 The
bylaw is not obligated for review until 1 March 2018.
10 There
have been no significant issues with the existing 2005 bylaw and its amendments
which make up the substantial portion of the proposed new 2015 bylaw.
Factors to Consider
Legal and Statutory Requirements
11 Council
is complying with a statutory requirement of the Local Government Act 2002 by
initiating this review.
12 Compliance
with the New Zealand Bill of Rights Act 1990.
The New Zealand Bill of Rights Act
1990 confers certain civil and political rights to people in New Zealand.
For the purposes of the Speed Limit Bylaw 2015, the statutory rights which
could have relevance include Section 18 conferring a right to freedom of
movement and residence in New Zealand.
It is considered that the controls
within the Speed Limits Bylaw 2015 do not unreasonably interfere with the
aforementioned rights conferred by the
New Zealand Bill of Rights Act 1990.
13 Section
155 of the Local Government Act 2002 allows councils to make bylaws as a means
of addressed perceived problems. The 2002 Act itself has already been
reviewed by the Attorney-General for any inconsistency with the Bill of Rights.
14 Section
156 of the Local Government Act 2002 allows Council to make minor changes to,
or correct errors in the Bylaw. The Strategic Transport Department have
reviewed the 2005 Bylaw and its amendments and found no errors. The 2005 Bylaw
and its amendments make up the substantial portion of the proposed new 2015
Bylaw.
Community Views
15 The
views of the community have been sought as part of the public consultation
process with an advertisement calling for submissions in The Southland Times.
16 Special
Consultative Procedure:
The initiation and completion of the
special consultative procedure in accordance with the requirements of Sections
82A, 83, 83AA and 86 of the Local Government Act 2002 have been completed.
17 Please
refer to the attached summary of submissions.
Costs and Funding
18 While
there have been direct costs associated with the making of the new Bylaw, these
costs are outweighed by the need to enhance public safety on roads and streets
throughout the district with an enforceable regime.
Policy Implications
19 There
are no substantive Policy or District Plan considerations relevant to this
matter.
Analysis
Options Considered
20 Option
1 – Adopt New Speed Limits Bylaw
As Council resolved to adopt the
Bylaw at the meeting dated 18 March 2015, and the public consultation period
has now been completed and the last step of the process is to adopt the Bylaw.
Analysis of Options
Option 1 – Adopt New Speed
Limits Bylaw
|
Advantages
|
Disadvantages
|
|
· A
new Bylaw provides a fresh start with no amendments to cause any confusion.
· Various
updates to the speed limits within the district have been identified and this
provides a good opportunity to formalise these under the full consultative
requirements.
|
· Not
applicable
|
Assessment of Significance
21 The
recommendation is considered significant as Council is complying with a
statutory requirement of the Local Government Act 2002 by initiating this
review and adopting the Bylaw.
Recommended Option
22 It
is the recommendation of the Strategic Transport Department that the current
Bylaw and its amendments are repealed and the new Southland District Council
Speed Limits Bylaw 2015 is adopted and comes into effect 1 July 2015.
Next Steps
- 3
June 2015 – Council to consider submissions and adopt new 2015 Speed
Limits Bylaw.
- 6
June 2015 – Public notice that the 2015 Speed Limits Bylaw has been
adopted.
- 1
July 2015 – Southland District Council Speed Limit Bylaw 2015 commences.
- 1
July 2015 – Southland District Council Speed Limit Bylaw 2005 and its
amendments are repealed and cease to have effect.

Limited support is
given
Concerns raised by AA over the amount of cyclists using
the roadway and that the nearby State Highway 6 speed limits have not been
taken into account.
|
Agree and Partially Disagree
The Strategic Transport Department have set this limit
with consideration to the NZ Cycle Trail Design Guide which stipulates
category 1 trails (Around the Mountains trail is category 1) must be no
higher than 60km/hr where a road and a cycle trail share the roadway.
There is a possibility this speed limit can be reviewed in
the upcoming years once the Around the Mountains trail is well established
and user numbers can be confirmed.
The Around the Mountains trail only crosses the highway,
it does not utilise the highway like the local roads do (e.g. Paddy’s
Alley Rd).
The highway is also constructed wide and sealed, whereas
all local roads within the Athol township are short in length and unsealed.

Agree
The Strategic Transport Department do not see a problem
lowering these existing gravelled roads from 100km/hr to 70km/hr as this is
the speed users are generally travelling safely.
Residential dwellings are starting to develop and expand
into these surrounding rural residential roads.

Do not support
AA do not believe vehicle and cycle numbers will be
significant enough on Hume Road and only support lowering the speed limit on
Hume Road between State Highway 6 and Northcoat Road
|
Disagree
The Strategic Transport Department have set this limit
with consideration to the NZ Cycle Trail Design Guide which stipulates
category 1 trails (Around the Mountains trail is category 1) must be no

There is a possibility this speed limit can be reviewed in
the upcoming years once the Around the Mountains trail is well established
and user numbers can be confirmed.
The cycle trail continues beyond Northcoat Road from the
highway and although it has a low vehicle count per day (less than 20
vehicles per day) there will still be cycle and vehicle interaction with
sharing of the roadway.

During the peak season at the freezing works there appears
to be well over 30 workers vehicles parked here alone. Strategic Transport
Department estimates during the peak season the freezing works site alone
would contribute approximately 150 vehicle movements.
This small section of speed reduction provides a good
opportunity to create a 70km/hr threshold for the transition between 100km/hr
on the open road to the 50km/hr limit within the township.

AA Southland has requested further information on this
area in regards to crash history. AA Southland also feels that additional
engineering works would reinforce the lower speed environment.
|
Agree and Partially Disagree
There have been five reported crashes linked to Flemington
Road within the last 10 years and all five are related to speed (3 are
directly linked and 2 are a very likely assumed contributor).
The Strategic Transport Department are investigating
possible engineering works that could be put in to effect at the time of the
speed limit reduction.
It is worth noting that concrete kerbing and pavement
marking thresholds have been completed within the last 24 months at the
Eastern approach to the township (Woodlands Morton Mains Road, near the
school).

The Manager
Strategic Transport
Department
Southland District
Council
PO Box 903
Invercargill 9840
Attn. Mr. James
McCallum
Dear James
Speed Limit Bylaw
Review – Consultation
We refer to your
letter 300/10/16/3 dated 22 January 2015.
We apologise for
the delay in providing comment on the proposed Bylaw review.
Unfortunately the AA District Council does not meet in January and our February
meeting did not take place until the 18 February where the changes could be
discussed. We trust the Southland District Council will take these
comments into account in their review of the Bylaw.
The New
Zealand Automobile Association (the AA) Southland District appreciates the
opportunity to comment on the proposed Speed Limit Bylaw Review. The AA
has over 1.4 million Members nationally and the AA Southland District Council
represents the interests of 18,500 Members in this region.
AA Southland is
particularly keen to assist our Road Controlling Authorities in setting
appropriate speed limits and ensuring they are not out of context with
the surrounding environment and drivers’ expectations and
experience. Appropriate speed limits are an essential component of the
current self-explaining roads approach that mean the nature of the road and
environment subconsciously encourages people to travel in the appropriate way
and an appropriate speed. If this approach is not taken then inconsistent
speed limits that lack credibility with road users, do not match the road
environment and increase driver frustration result.
AA Southland
therefore offers the Southland District Council the opportunity to engage with
us earlier in the process when Bylaw reviews and in particular speed limit
setting is being discussed. We are prepared to meet both formally or
informally is appropriate for the occasion.
Proposed Speed
Limit Changes
The AA Southland
District Council wishes to make the following comments in relation to the speed
limit changes proposed in the Bylaw review.
We are concerned
that the speed limit changes proposed do not appear to have taken State
Highways into account. While we acknowledge SDC are not the controlling
authority for the State Highways consistency of message and speed limit
particularly within townships is highly desirable. In assessing a
township speed limit with an adjoining State Highway we would expect some
comment to be made in relation to the Highway speed limit and the interaction
with the local township streets.
Athol Township
– Limited support is given to the proposal for Athol Township.
Cyclists will also be required to access the State Highway with its higher
speed limit. We suggest the whole township re reassessed taking the State
Highways into account and a potentially single speed limit maybe
achievable. The NZ Cycle Trail Guide recommendation of 60km/hr envisaged
much higher vehicle numbers that Paddies Alley would currently carry.
Colac Bay –
Formalising current practice using temporary speed limit signs in Colac Bay
during the proposed period is supported.
Edendale –
Support is given to the proposed changes although in this case we do not
believe improvements to safety are likely to result. The assessment has
not identified a crash history likely to be affected by these changes.
The changes will improve consistency and reduce confusion within the Edendale
Township/Seaward Road.
Garston –
Support is not given for the proposed changes in Garston. The conflicting
vehicle and cycle numbers will be exceptionally low on Hume Road in
particular. Given that cyclists are going to leave Hume Road onto a State
Highway with an 80km/hr limit the change over a significant length of Hume road
appears unnecessary. The AA would support a speed limit reduction on Hume
road to cover the section from the State Highway across the bridge to the
Northcoat Road intersection. The remaining section of Hume Road should
just be signed as part of the cycle trail.
Makarewa Freezing
Works – Removing this redundant speed limit is supported.
Manapouri –
The proposed changes are supported.
Mossburn –
The change proposed is not supported from the information provided.
Consistency with the speed limit currently in place on the State Highway would
be appropriate. We are unaware of the current State Highway speed limit
and request this be investigated before proceeding further.
Riversdale - The
proposed changes are supported.
Te Anau - The
proposed changes are supported. We are pleased to see the current speed
limit on Sandy Brown Road is being retained and monitoring will continue.
Waianiwa - The
proposed changes are supported.
Winton - The
current proposal is supported.
Woodlands –
Support in principle for this proposal is given. We request additional
information be provided to demonstrate that statement are speed related.
Due to the location of the crashes the speeds are likely to be below the
current speed limit and likely below the proposed speed limit. The
proposed change is unlikely to have any effect without some additional
engineering works to reinforce the lower speed limit. That means making
the area more self-explaining so that drivers exhibit the correct driving
behaviors.
Once again thank
you for the opportunity to comment as an affected stakeholder to this Speed
Limit Bylaw review. The AA Southland District Council congratulates the
Southland District Council on the approach taken with this review and
particularly notes the lack of major area wide speed limit proposals where
speeds are taken significantly below those calculated within the speed limit
setting rule as has been the case in many other areas on the country.
Should you wish to
discuss this matter further please contact the undersigned.
Yours Faithfully
Russell Hawkes
Chairman

Amendment to Standing Orders
Record No: R/15/5/8617
Author: Louise
Pagan, Communications and Governance Manager
Approved by: Steve Ruru,
Chief Executive
☒
Decision ☐ Recommendation ☐ Information
Purpose
1 To
consider an amendment to Standing Orders to allow for the attendance by audio
or
audio-visual link of elected members and members of the public, following
changes to the Local Government Act 2002 Amendment Act 2014.
Executive
Summary
2 The
Local Government Act 2002 (LGA) Amendment Act 2014 introduced a new Clause 25A:
Attendance at meetings by audio link or audio-visual link, to Schedule 7, thus
allowing for the use of such technology in Council and committee meetings.
3 The
technology must be of good quality so all those participating can be
heard. The chair must be satisfied all other conditions of the Standing
Orders are met, including quorums.
4 Adopting
the proposed clause allows for remote access to meetings, which will be
valuable for Council considering the size of the District and distribution of
councillors.
|
Recommendation
That the Council:
a) Receives
the report titled “Amendment to Standing Orders” dated 18 May
2015.
b) Determines
that this matter or decision be recognised as not significant
in terms of Section 76 of the Local Government Act 2002.
c) Determines
that it has complied with the decision-making provisions of the Local
Government Act 2002 to the extent necessary in relation to this decision; and
in accordance with Section 79 of the Act determines that it does not require
further information, further assessment of options or further analysis of
costs and benefits or advantages and disadvantages prior to making a decision
on this matter.
d) Approves
the inclusions of Sections 2.19 and 2.20 in Southland District
Council’s Standing Orders (Attachment A)
e) Notes
the consequential amendment to Section 3.17.2 (Attachment A)
f) Adopts
the amended Southland District Council Standing Orders
|
Content
Background
5 The
use of technology, such as audio links or audio-visual links, in Council and
committee meetings has been enabled by the new Clause 25A: Attendance at
meetings by audio link or audio-visual link, introduced in the Local Government
Act 2002 (LGA) Amendment Act 2014.
6 This
clause can be applied to members of a local authority or its committees, or a
person other than a member of a local authority or committee; for example, a
submitter to a hearing. It allows elected members or the public to participate
in meetings remotely without the need to be present.
7 Clause
25A (5) does state Council does not have to adopt this, particularly if the
technology is not adequate for either those present or those linking in to be
heard.
8 Clause
25A (3)(a) Schedule 7 states that the technology must be of suitable
quality. A range of issues contribute to technology quality, including:
• Accessibility
- not all of the district has adequate accessibility to technology or the
internet
• Streaming
levels - some rural areas do not have adequate broadband which could lead to
very patchy internet access.
9 Teleconferencing
is likely to be of better quality, but room acoustics and layout may play a
significant role in the quality of these technologies.
10 Quorums
are still required and careful consideration will be needed to ensure they are
maintained.
11 Council
has already trialled this process in the previous terms, with examples of Te
Anau councillors participating remotely because of snow and councillors ringing
in from overseas in order to be part of hearings.
12 Council
adopted the NZ Standards Model Standing Orders for Meetings of Territorial
Authorities, Regional Councils and Community Boards as its Standing Orders with
some amendments at its inaugural meeting in October 2013.
13 In
order for the changes around Clause 25A to be put into effect, it is necessary
to amend Council’s standing orders.
14 The
clauses to be added into Council’s Standing Orders are in Attachment A.
Issues
15 There
are risks associated with the quality of the technology and ensuring that all
participating persons can be heard adequately. This will be mitigated by
monitoring and reviewing emerging technologies.
Factors to Consider
Legal
and Statutory Requirements
16 If
Council chooses to amend the Standing Orders to include Clause 25A, it needs to
ensure the quality of the technology used and the need to ensure quorums are
met. Council does not have to adopt the clause.
Community
Views
17 Adopting
this clause will allow members of the public to participate in hearings or in
public forum without having to travel to Invercargill. This could
increase public participation and interest.
Costs
and Funding
18 Council
already has the technology to allow for audio links or audio-visual links, so
there should not be additional costs, if adopted.
Policy
Implications
19 There
are no policy implications.
Analysis
Options Considered
20 There
are two options to consider - either to adopt the new clause or to stay with
the status quo.
Analysis of Options
Option 1 Adoption of the new clause
|
Advantages
|
Disadvantages
|
|
· Allows
for participation in meetings if not able to be physically present
· Views
of those who participate can be taken into consideration
· Reduces
the barriers of travel/distance
· Ensures
Council remains current
|
· Need
to ensure technology is of a suitable standard. If not, there could be
some cost involved
|
Option 2 Status Quo
|
Advantages
|
Disadvantages
|
|
· Allows
direct engagement with elected members and the public
· Interaction
quality meets LGA requirements
· Quorums
are maintained
|
· The
need to be physically present to participate
|
Assessment of Significance
21 This
is not a significant decision in terms of Council’s Significance and
Engagement Policy.
Recommended Option
22 Option
1 ensures Council stays current and allows for more public and elected member
participation and changes in technology. It is the recommended option as
it gives councillors more flexibility.
Next Steps
23 Council’s
Standing Orders will be updated with the new clauses.
