10 Local Alcohol Policy |
|
|
|
A report from Corporate Policy, Civic and Legal Services provided an update to Council regarding the DCC’s Local Alcohol Policy (LAP). The report noted that Council had resolved in September 2024 to undertake public consultation on a draft LAP. In October and November 2024, public consultation was undertaken using a special consultative procedure. Eighty-five submissions were received, and Hearings were held in November 2024. During the consultation period and Hearings, concerns were raised regarding the extent and quality of pre-consultation prior to the draft LAP being released for public consultation and regarding concerns around timeframes for consultation. The Hearings Committee resolved in February 2024 to recommend to Council that a revised consultation document be prepared. Staff supported the recommendation as the LAP was an important document and the process needed to be thorough, and consultation needed to be meaningful. Staff were working to update their research and would commence stakeholder engagement shortly so that there could be a Council report and Council workshop later in 2025 identifying options for the content of a revised draft Local Alcohol Policy. The revised draft would then go through a pre-consultation process before coming back to Council in 2026 for approval of a draft LAP for consultation purposes. |

|
|
Moved (Mayor Jules Radich/Cr Cherry Lucas): That the Council: a) Approves the DCC submission on the Local Government (System Improvement) Amendment Bill with the following amendment: i) Replace paragraphs 18, 19 and 20 with the following text: 18. Clause 6 of the Bill (amending section 10 of the Act) refers to “good quality” and “cost-effective’, which could cause interpretation problems either on their own or when taken together. 19. Firstly, the definition of “good quality” in section 5 of the Act refers to what is “appropriate to present and anticipated future circumstances”, i.e. taking a long-term view. This concept may conflict with the “cost-effective” requirement, which if considered on economic or financial terms could be taken to support a “least cost” approach, i.e. taking a short-term view. There may be the risk of legal challenge as a result. 20. Secondly, “cost-effective” is not defined in the Bill. It is not clear whether “cost-effectiveness” refers to short-term or long-term cost-effectiveness, and whether cost is defined solely in financial terms. Also, what happens if something is cost-effective for households, but not for businesses? How does the performance of regulatory functions satisfy the cost-effective requirement? b) Authorises the Mayor and/or their delegate to speak to the submission. c) Authorises the Chief Executive to make any minor amendments to the submission if needed. Motion carried (CNL/2025/255) |
