Planner Rachael Willox said the purpose of this report was to receive the policies and bylaws that had been worked on this year. Some of the bylaws had been amended following submissions received from the public. Dogs Bylaw – Two submissions were received and both were upheld. The bylaw does not require working dogs to be microchipped. Alcohol – Submissions were dismissed. The sentiment of having a restricted area around the Church of the Good Shephard is a good one, but there was no record of any problems so this would be monitored. Animals – Upholding the submission to amend to two cats per household rather than per person. Keeping of cats provision will only relate to the urban areas, not the whole district. Bees – Upholding the submission from Mr Young. Will allow for hobby bees but only two hives per property, with rules about providing water. Bee keepers would also need to be registered with a bee keepers license, and this meant regular inspection. Wastewater/stormwater – Upholding submission from FENZ but dismissing the submission from the fuel companies. Dangerous Buildings - Upholding submissions. Gambling – This policy needed a determination on how to proceed. Rachael went through the various options that were available and Council discussed these. They decided to apply option three, as outlined in the agenda, with an additional phrase related to “ if a business closes due to fire or natural hazard”. The resolution wording was drafted by Aaron Hakkaart and read out several times. Councillors agreed with the changed wording as below. |
