Decisions DocumentThank you for taking part in the review of our Alcohol Control Bylaw. We’re pleased to report

this review is now complete, and the results will come into effect on 1 October 2016.

This document contains the outcomes of the review, why we made these decisions, and updated maps. Thanks again!

WHAT’S THE STORY?

In December 2015 we received a recommendation from the Te Puke

Community Board and the local Police for Council to introduce an alcohol

ban in the Te Puke township.

This recommendation was based on a perception that the consumption of alcohol

in public places is leading to anti-social behaviour in Te Puke’s town centre.

We agreed to consider an alcohol ban in Te Puke as part of a full review of the current Liquor Control Bylaw, which included reconsidering the current alcohol bans currently in place in

Waihi Beach and Katikati.

For each township, we considered a range of options for the timing and area that

each proposed ban should apply.

GETTING FEEDBACK

To find out what our communities thought of Council’s proposed options, we opened an online feedback site to allow people to share their experiences on alcohol-related

crime and disorder, whether a ban was needed in their town.

After considering evidence from the Police and feedback from our communities, Council was satisfied

there was a high level of alcohol-related crime and disorder in Te Puke, and that a high level of alcohol-

related crime and disorder would likely arise in Katikati and Waihi Beach if the current bans were withdrawn.

The draft bylaw was released for feedback from 13 April to 13 May. This proposed 24/7 alcohol bans year round

in Te Puke, Waihi Beach and Katikati. We received written feedback from 26 people, and spoke with 83 people in person in the town centres during this time.

Overall feedback suggested we had got it right.

As a result we have retained the alcohol bans in Te Puke, Katikati and Waihi Beach to effectively

manage alcohol related issues in public places, as propsed in our draft bylaw. The new Alcohol Control Bylaw 2016 was adopted on 25 August 2016. It comes

into effect on 1 October 2016.

The draft bylaw proposed a 24/7 ban year round in the main shopping area of Te Puke township. Following community feedback, the final bylaw covers the same area, but has been extended to cover both sides of each road that form the boundary of the ban area.
