          Request for Temporary Alcohol Ban During Orientation 2018

 

A report from Customer and Regulatory Services advised that the Council had received a late request from the Otago University Students' Association (OUSA) to consider implementing a temporary alcohol ban in the North Dunedin area during Orientation 2018 for the period 21–24 February 2018 from 6.00 pm to 12.00 midnight each evening.  

The area to be covered by the temporary ban was bounded by Albany Street, Riego Street, Harbour Terrace and Dundas Street, Butts Road, Anzac Avenue, State Highway 88 and Anzac Avenue back to Albany Street.

Police had advised they supported the OUSA in their request for the temporary alcohol ban if it would assist them with the safe running of their events.

That the Council:

 

a)     Approves the implementation of a temporary alcohol ban between 6.00 pm and 12.00 midnight from Wednesday 21 February to Saturday 24 February 2018 inclusive in the area bounded by Albany Street, Riego Street, Harbour Terrace and Dundas Street, Butts Road, Anzac Avenue, State Highway 88 and Anzac Avenue back to Albany Street.

6       Appointment to the Gambling and TAB Venue Policy Hearing Committee

 

At its meeting on 17 October 2017, the Planning and Environment Committee appointed Councillor David Benson-Pope (Chair), Councillor Marie Laufiso and Councillor Conrad Stedman to a hearing committee to consider submissions received on its draft Gambling and TAB Venue Policy, following public consultation.  The hearing was scheduled for the morning of 20 February 2018 starting at 9.00 a.m. 

Due to another Council commitment, Councillor Benson-Pope was now unable to attend the hearing on 20 February.  After discussions with the Mayor, Councillor Aaron Hawkins was proposed to replace Councillor Benson-Pope on the hearing committee and to chair the committee. 

Council was asked to consider the report under urgency, given the late change in availability of Councillor Benson-Pope, and acknowledging that some submitters had booked flights to attend the hearing. 

 

Moved (Cr Kate Wilson/Cr Mike Lord):

That the Council:

 

a)     Appoints Councillor Aaron Hawkins as Chair of the Gambling and TAB Venue Policy Hearing Committee, replacing Councillor David Benson-Pope.
