Mr Heale highlighted a change to paragraph 6.51 of the quarterly report, noting that the Nelson Plan Elected Member Working Group meeting had been deferred until May. Discussion took place on the need to get those dates set and the importance of governor oversight of proposed significant changes to the Plan. Officers responded to questions regarding consent processing times, the Future Development Strategy, IANZ accreditation, the Land Management Manual, the Biodiversity Forum, water quality in the Maitai and the MARPOL submission. Further discussion took place on the Nelson Plan process and Mr Heale confirmed that the Plan was undergoing peer and legal review, and that once officers received that feedback, they would know the extent of the changes required and could bring that work to Elected Members. It was reiterated that the Working Group required a mandate from the Committee and would need to advise the Committee of material changes, ensuring a transparent process. It was noted that a discussion regarding the reporting of Section 357 objections needed to take place as this was missing at the moment. |

Manager Environment, Matt Heale, advised that on page 71 of the agenda report, Option 2 - risks and disadvantages, was incorrect and that paragraph 7.6 of the report was the correct information. He referred to the map in Attachment 1, which identified where Quakers Acre and Wellington Reserve were.

He said that Police would support this being a liquor ban area. Mr Heale answered questions regarding the risk of displacement, the safety audit, consideration of mental health and addiction issues, work with social agencies, residents’ concerns, anti-social behaviour, improvement of amenities and the review of the bylaw process next year. |
