1.1 Purpose of Report
The purpose of this report is to obtain a resolution of Council to allow trading in a public place to occur at Napier City Council and Napier City Business Inc events in Napier city until the end of October 2019.

The Strategic Planning Lead spoke to the report. In response to questions from Councillors she confirmed that in some cases ‘beverages’ will include alcoholic beverages; however, events held within public spaces would be required to meet the Joint Alcohol Strategy and the Alcohol Decision Matrix. In some cases, establishments will have their own liquor licensing. To provide Council with some certainty in this area the following points were noted in addition to those already in the officer’s report: 1.2 Background Summary Criteria 9 should include: ‘If alcohol is to be sold at the event, the usual liquor licensing requirements also apply.’ A new Criteria 10 should be added as follows: ‘Any sale of alcohol must be consistent with the Joint Alcohol Strategy and the Alcohol Decision Matrix.’
It was also clarified that consideration had been given as to how to minimise waste from events or whether to host a waste-free event. Officers confirmed that how waste is to be addressed would be included in future reports to Council regarding events, but noted that while fully waste free events are the preference, Council cannot guarantee this will be achieved for all events.
In response to a Councillor’s request to put monitoring and feedback in place after events, the Director City Strategy noted that this decision is required to enable the approval process only. Mechanisms are already in place to monitor events and provide feedback to Council.
For clarity, an amendment was proposed to specify alcoholic beverages in the motion.
