2.1 Purpose of Report
A high court decision on 1 August 2018 overturned the current Easter Sunday Trading Policy that allowed shops within the Napier District to open on Easter Sunday. This report is to seek Council approval to re consult on an Easter Sunday Trading Policy. This requires Council to adopt a draft policy, the accompanying Statement of Proposal, and to authorise officers to commence the special consultative procedure.
|
Council Resolution |
That the Strategy and Infrastructure Committee:
a. Agree the proposed changes to the draft Easter Sunday Trading Policy and Statement of Proposal, as follows:
1. Include in Reason for Proposal section (page 10): Pharmacy and Souvenir Shops, as these are also to be open under the Shop Trading Hours Act 1990.
2. Add in another heading: What would happen if we do not pass this policy? We would return to the situation in which some shops listed above could open and others not.
3. Include in the Religious Beliefs section (page 11): During consultation with the community in 2016 and 2017 on the previous Easter Sunday Trading Policy, Council received feedback from parts of the community that demonstrated concerns with having a policy that removed one of the few remaining days where shops were not legally able to trade. Council is keen to understand the Napier community’s views on this aspect of the policy.
4. That the survey on page 11 of the proposal be removed.
b. Approve the Easter Sunday Trading Policy and Statement of Proposal, with the agreed amendments as set out in Part A.
c. Authorise officers to proceed with public notification through the special consultative procedure as prescribed in Section 83, of the Local Government Act 2002
d. Officers to prepare an engagement plan that is specifically directed to Christian Churches, Unions, Retail and business organisations.
e. Request that council be provided with a full briefing of the High Court ruling by our legal representation
