Subject: Building and Planning Update

INFORMATION

Recommendation:

That the Strategic Planning and Policy Committee notes the contents of Report 208/18.

Purpose

The purpose of this report is to provide the Strategic Planning and Policy Committee with an update on the Building and Planning work programme.

Planning

Planning activity continues to be extremely busy with subdivision and building in all areas of the district, as well as high demand for LIMS due to the active real estate market.

Developers, ratepayers and residents are taking the opportunity to come and discuss options with us to achieve the best outcomes for everyone. Other points to note include:

The Waipoua Flood Plain Working Group is continuing to refine the modelling and mapping. A communications plan is being prepared for when the maps are publicly released.

The review of the 2012 Bylaws is progressing well.

As a precursor to the Wairarapa Combined District Plan (WCDP) Review an urbangrowth study will be carried out together with a monitoring strategy, both of whichwill ultimately feed into the District Plan. This study will also inform therequirements for future infrastructure and the Three Waters.

Building

Building activity continues to be extremely busy with activity in all areas of the district (albeit with slightly fewer consent numbers than the same quarter last year, see page 518). With the ground conditions drying out the demand for inspections has increased and the industry will be wanting work completed for Christmas. Other points to note include:

There are an increasing number of enquiries about development projects that entailresidential apartments in the CBD.

511

Work continues around Potentially Earthquake Prone Buildings with Stage 2,working with building owners outside the Priority Area.

The purpose of this report is to provide the Strategic Planning and Policy Committee with an update on progress in the following areas

Bylaws

Corporate Planning and Reporting

Strategy

Governance.

Key Projects Currently Underway

Bylaw Review

Progress to Date

The following activity has been completed:

Staff (MDC, Carterton District Council (CDC) and South Wairarapa District Council (SWDC))have met to confirm project timelines and individual council and collectivereviews/discussions have occurred in relation to water and wastewater drainage.

Staff from each council have completed an internal review of the bylaws and identifiedproposed changes for each Part.

Work Underway

The following work is currently underway:

MDC is reviewing and consolidating the proposed amendments from each of the threecouncils.

Preparation for workshops with Wairarapa Policy Working Group.

Review of MDC’s Part 17: Liquor Control (see details on the following page).

519

Next Priorities

The table below shows the upcoming key milestones for the bylaw review project. These timelines

were agreed by staff from MDC, CDC and SWDC at the meeting on 20 September 2018.

Date Milestone

Early November 2018 Workshop 1 with Wairarapa Policy Working Group

Early December 2018 Workshop 2 with Wairarapa Policy Working Group

First Council meeting of 2019 Draft bylaws adopted by Council for consultation. Report to include confirmation of consultation approach.

March 2019 Public Consultation

May 2019 Draft bylaws adopted by all three Councils

Part 17: Liquor Control

The Liquor Control Bylaws for each of the three Wairarapa councils are currently separate as they

relate to areas within each District rather than being Wairarapa wide. Given these are separate

bylaws, each Council will review its own Liquor Control Bylaw as these come up for review.

MDC’s Liquor Control Bylaw (Part 17) will be reviewed and adopted in advance of the wider bylaw

review. This will meet the Local Government (Alcohol Reform) Amendment Act 2012 timeframe which

requires a review by mid December 2018.

A Statement of Proposal, including a draft bylaw, will be submitted to the Council meeting on 31

October 2018 for adoption for consultation.

A community meeting will be scheduled during the consultation period in November. Details will be

confirmed with elected members within the next week to enable participation.

Annual Report 2017‐18

Audit New Zealand commenced their onsite visit on 1 October 2018 to audit the draft Annual Report 2017‐18. The draft Annual Report is scheduled for adoption by Council on 31 October 2018.

Arts, Culture and Heritage Strategy

The review of the Arts, Culture and Heritage Strategy is underway, with an initial Council workshop held on 10 October 2018.

Representation Review

Council adopted its final proposal for representation arrangements for the 2019 local elections on 19 September 2018:

there will be ten elected members plus the Mayor

all members will be elected at large

there will be no community boards.

It was also agreed that staff will work with Federated Farmers to investigate the establishment of a Rural Advisory / Reference Group.

520

Those who submitted on the initial proposal have until 29 October 2018 to appeal the final proposal if they wish to. Any appeals will be forwarded to the Local Government Commission to consider and make a determination. If there are no appeals, a final public notice will be placed advising that there were no appeals or objections.

Street Tree Policy Review

The review of the Street Tree Policy is underway.

Work Completed

Representation Arrangements Submission to Greater Wellington Regional Council

MDC made a submission on the Greater Wellington Regional Council’s (GWRC) Representation Review proposal. MDC’s submission (refer Attachment 1) focused on the need for greater representation of the Wairarapa at a regional level. The submission requested that GWRC:

Increase the total number of GWRC elected members to 14;

Increase the number of GWRC representatives for the Wairarapa from one totwo; and/or

Increase the level of delegation to the Wairarapa Committee.

The draft submission was circulated to all elected members on 25 September 2018. Ten responses were received, all in favour of the submission.

The submission was emailed to GWRC on 26 September 2018. Mayor Lyn Patterson will speak to the submission at GWRC’s Representation Review 2018 Hearing on 18 October 2018.

Tania Madden, Manager Strategic Planning



Subject: Environmental Services Work Programme Update

INFORMATION

Recommendation:


Purpose

The purpose of this report is to provide the Strategic Planning and Policy Committee with an update on the Environmental Services work programme.

Animal Services and Bylaws

2018/2019 Dog Registration Currently 95% (5534) of all known dogs are registered. Property checks for all unregistered dog owners who have still failed to pay their registration and penalties are under way. Dog owners who received a $300 infringement last year were the first to be visited. Most dog owners who received an infringement last year (for failing to register their dog(s)) have registered their pet.

Pound project In late August the Projects Coordinator and Environmental Services Manager visited Hutt City, Wellington and Kapiti Shelters (pounds) and Masterton and Wellington SPCA to gather information about the spaces where they care for animals to help inform planning for the new Masterton pound. The other councils’ animal services teams were very accommodating and gave some great feedback.

Animal Services Conference The team attended the annual conference for the New Zealand Institute of Animal Management. The focus this year was Animals in Emergencies. The presentations by Nigel Latta (Clinical Psychologist) and Jessica Petersen (Group Welfare Manager Canterbury Civil Defence Emergency Management) were highlights for the team. The key take home message for the team was that in an emergency people should be encouraged to take their pets with them at the time they vacate their home to avoid people endangering themselves by trying to re‐enter an emergency zone later.

Changes to the fire hazard rules and permits The warmer weather is fast approaching and the district is likely to be in for a long hot dry summer. With legislative changes, Fire and Emergency New Zealand (FENZ) are now responsible for issuing fire hazard notices (e.g. for long dry grass) and for issuing permits to burn in the urban and rural areas. MDC no longer has the authority to issue these notices or permits. A communications plan for informing our community will be prepared.

525

Environmental Health

Year 3 transition for food operators Reminder letters are about to be sent out to all registered food operators who have not yet transitioned to operating under the Food Act 2014. The letter will include an invitation for food operators to attend a workshop to assist them in understanding their obligations under the Act. Information will also be provided to food operators who have not been required to register previously.

Summer sampling Summer water sampling to meet resource consent requirements commenced in October and runs through until approximately Easter.

Alcohol Professional Development workshop Two licensing inspectors attended the New Zealand Institute of Liquor Licensing Inspectors (NZILLI) professional development workshop in Wellington in early September. The workshop focused on the hearings process for alcohol licensing. The Health Protection Agency (HPA) and NZILLI are working together to provide more online training tools for inspectors.

ARLA Report The Secretary of the Masterton District Licensing Committee is required to complete an annual report under section 199 of the Sale and Supply of Alcohol Act 2012, which is submitted to the Alcohol Regulatory and Licensing Authority (ARLA). For the year ending 30 June 2018 ARLA have trialled an online format for reporting. The Masterton District Licensing Committee report has been completed and submitted (see Attachment 1).

Environmental Health, Dog Control and Bylaw Activities

P1 , P2 and P3 are categorised by the urgency or priority of the request for service.

P1 animal services endeavour to attend within the hour, attacks would be classed as priority 1.

P2 is barking, wandering and welfare, the team strive to attend within twenty four hours.

P3 are non‐urgent requests, i.e. administration requests such as details needing to be changedwithin dog accounts, the time frame allocated is 5 working days.

Dogs rehomed and notices to register are categories not reported on in previous years.

Bylaw Activity Bylaws graphs reflect community engagement with bylaw services for assistance. The data shown is year to date.
