Statement of Proposal: to make a new Auckland Council Waste Management and Minimisation Bylaw 2019 and to amend the Auckland Council Trading and Events in Public Places Bylaw 2015. Public consultation takes place from 10 May 2019 to 16 June 2019.

Helping to reduce harm from residual waste

Every day Aucklanders separate material that is no longer useful to them (for example, into recyclable material and refuse) and use services to reduce the amount of waste that goes to landfill.

Waste to landfill, litter and illegal dumping (residual waste) raise significant issues. Every year Aucklanders send more than 1.6 million tonnes of waste to landfills. Organic waste in landfills generates methane (a potent greenhouse gas), while recyclable material sent to landfills is a lost business opportunity. Litter is unsightly and reduces community pride.

What Auckland Council does

We make rules to manage and minimise waste, protect the public from health and safety risks and nuisance, and to manage the use of council-controlled public places.

The current rules are set in the Te Ture Ā Rohe Para Māro 2012, Auckland Council Solid Waste Bylaw 2012.

Improving waste management and minimisation rules

We recently checked how the rules are working and identified improvements.

We propose that a new bylaw:

• requires people to deposit and dispose of waste appropriately • requires waste collectors and operators of waste management and resource recovery facilities and

donation collection bins (exemptions apply) to obtain an approval (a licence) from council • aligns the definition of cleanfill with the Auckland Unitary Plan which may require some previously

exempt waste management facilities to obtain an approval • clarifies that a waste management and minimisation plan is required for all trading, event or filming

activities in a council-controlled public place • clarifies that a waste management and minimisation plan is required for any existing (exceptions

apply) or planned multi-unit development • clarifies the rules to minimise the potential for shopping trolleys and unaddressed mail to become

waste. Businesses party to the existing shopping trolley industry accord will remain exempt, subject to the renewal of the accord.

We want to know what you think

Starting on 10 May 2019 through to 16 June 2019, we want you to tell us what you think about the proposed new Auckland Council Waste Management and Minimisation Bylaw 2019 and amendments to the Auckland Council Trading and Events in Public Places Bylaw 2015.

2 What is the Bylaw

The Te Ture Ā Rohe Para Māro 2012, Auckland Council Solid Waste Bylaw 2012 (Bylaw) was made on 25 October 2012.

The purpose of the Bylaw is to set rules to manage and minimise waste, protect public health and safety and manage litter and nuisance.

The Bylaw also provides operational controls for the separation, placement and collection of waste and disposal of waste to cleanfills and managed fills. Note: We are not seeking feedback on these controls.

3 What council proposes to change Improving waste management and minimisation rules

We recently checked how the rules are working and identified improvements.

Council is proposing to better manage and minimise waste, protect the public from health and safety risks and nuisance, and to manage the use of council-controlled public places by:

• making a new Waste Management and Minimisation Bylaw 2019 • amending its Trading and Events in Public Places Bylaw 2015.

The major proposals are:

Major proposals Reasons for proposal

Require people to deposit and dispose of waste appropriately. Existing controls about the separation, placement and collection of waste will continue to apply.

• Help achieve the Waste Plan goal to reduce harm from residual waste

• Manage and minimise waste • Protect public health and safety • Protect the public from nuisance • Manage use of council-controlled public

places.

Require waste collectors and operators of waste management facilities, resource recovery facilities and donation collection bins (exemptions apply) to obtain an approval (a licence) from council.

Align the definition of cleanfill with the Auckland Unitary Plan which may require some previously exempt waste management facilities to obtain an approval and will replace the existing control for the disposal of waste to land.

• Apply consistent approach to council regulation.

Clarify that a waste management and minimisation plan is required for all trading, event or filming activities in a council-controlled public place.

• Apply consistent approach to the use of council-controlled public places

• Rules clearer and easier to understand.

Clarify that a waste management and minimisation plan is required for any existing (exceptions apply) or planned multi-unit development.

• Ensure a focus on waste minimisation at residential developments that cannot use kerbside waste collection services

• Rules clearer and easier to understand.

Clarify the rules to minimise the potential for shopping trolleys and unaddressed mail to become waste. Businesses party to the existing shopping trolley industry accord will remain exempt, subject to the renewal of the accord.

• Rules clearer and easier to understand • Ensure better alignment between bylaw

and existing shopping trolley and unaddressed mail industry accords.

If you want to know more, Appendix A shows what the proposed new waste bylaw would look like. Appendix B provides a summary of the differences between the existing and proposed / amended bylaws.

4 How we implement the Bylaw Council uses a graduated response to bylaw complaints. This means that the response is based on the individual circumstances of the case including the seriousness of the harm and attitude to compliance.

We respond to lower risk issues in the first instance with education, advice and informal warnings. If this doesn’t work, council may issue formal warnings. For serious or ongoing bylaw breaches, council may prosecute offenders. Penalties could include a fine of up to $20,000.

Graduated approach to compliance

If someone breaches the rules

Council responds to complaints as soon as possible depending on the nature of the issues. The table below illustrates how the graduated approach to compliance is currently applied in the Solid Waste Bylaw 2012 and how it may be applied to the proposed new waste bylaw.

6

Specific examples of a graduated approach to compliance

Topic Examples of graduated approach to compliance

Breaches to licensing

conditions

• Contacting the licence holder and discussing the details of the non-compliance • Issuing a written warning • Reviewing licence by amending, suspending or withholding it • Resourcing or reviewing any performance bond • Enforcing any offences committed under the Litter Act 1979.

Kerbside collection and

hazardous waste disposal

• Council proactively inspects over 2,000 recycling bins each day for unrecyclable

items and takes the following compliance steps: o breach one - bin gets rejected, educational red tag is attached, and a warning

letter is sent to a resident identifying waste contamination issues o breach two - bin gets rejected and a second warning letter is sent o breach three - bin is removed and waste collection service is suspended. The

resident must sign a Reinstatement Agreement Form to reactivate the service and the bin is checked by council for the next three collections.

Collection of waste from multi-unit

developments

• Council proactively provides advice and technical feedback on the waste plans for

new multi-unit developments as part of the resource consent process. Council reactively responds to complaints by following up with the resource consents team or where possible, provides advice on alternative collection methods to mitigate waste issues related to existing developments.

Waste management

at events

• Council reviews waste plans for events, provides technical feedback and approval of

the waste plans. Council responds to complaints by following up with event organisers. If council is required to clean up after a permitted event, this is charged to the organiser.

Unaddressed mail

• Where unaddressed mail is from a member of the Marketing Association, a three-

tier approach is taken to integrate industry self-regulation. This includes provision of the 0800 111 081 helpline, investigation by an area supervisor and disciplinary steps.

• If a complaint is made about a non-member of the Marketing Association, council seeks a review of service delivery and formally advises distributor of a bylaw breach.

Abandoned shopping trolleys

• Council firstly directs complaints to the retailers to retrieve a trolley or secondly to

Retail New Zealand if there are continuing issues. • Council requests identifiable retailers who are not industry accord signatories to

retrieve their trolleys. If these issues are not addressed, council retrieves the trolley and charges for its collection.

• Council retrieves the trolley if retailer is unidentifiable.

5 How we got here

Decisions leading to the proposed changes

The Local Government Act 2002 and Waste Minimisation Act 2008 require council to review its waste bylaws to determine whether they are effective, efficient, still necessary and consistent with the Te Mahere Whakahaere me te Whakaiti Tukunga Para i Tāmaki Makaurau 2018, Auckland Waste Management and Minimisation Plan 2018.

The existing Solid Waste Bylaw 2012 is due to expire on 25 October 2019.

Auckland Council reviewed the existing bylaw, reported its findings and considered the options at meetings in February and March 2019.

Bylaw review and approval process

This statement of proposal was approved for public consultation by the Governing Body in May 2019 to commence the process to make a new Waste Management and Minimisation Bylaw 2019 and to amend the Trading and Events in Public Places Bylaw 2015.
