Earlier this month, the Alcohol Regulatory and Licensing Committee approved Auckland Council's Provisional Local Alcohol Policy. 

If brought into effect by the council, the policy will introduce measures such as applications for new bottle shops to be very likely rejected for the next two years, bottle shops and supermarkets across Auckland will need to stop selling alcohol no later than 9pm, and bars, restaurants and other on-licences permitted by the District Licensing Committee will be able to sell alcohol until no later than 4am in the city centre, and 3am outside of the city centre.

Auckland Council will set a date for the policy to come into force at a future meeting of its governing body.

In other news, earlier this week Council reported that theft and burglary rates are down in central Auckland, dropping by 34% year on year. 

This comes after council endorsed a safety plan for the CBD, much of which is already funded and under way.

Producer Sofia spoke to Councillor Shane Henderson about both of these topics, asking him firstly to explain what the current laws are and what the Provisional Local Alcohol Policy would change them to.

Homeless, rough sleepers and beggars have often been used as a shorthand by some for decline in the city centre. For some, it’s evidence of the state's increasing failure to provide support people at vulnerable points in their lives; for others, the continued presence of rough sleepers being permitted is a sign of a lack of social rules. This week the government seems to have firmly fallen in with the latter. 

They are set to implement legislation that would empower police to implement ‘move on’ orders, which, if issued, would require you to vacate public areas or face up to $2,000 in fines or 3 months in prison.

The move has garnered huge criticism with many viewing the move alongside the governments cuts to emergency housing and support services leaving people with no where to go other than prison.

Another move that has flown a little under the radar has been the amalgamation of the Ministry for the Environment, Ministry of Transport, Ministry of Housing and Urban Development and the local government functions of the Department of Internal Affairs into a single ministry. This amalgamation has alarmed critics who are concerned that the government's track record on climate and environmental policy spells ill for this new agency. 

For our weekly catchup with the Green Party, Wire Host Manny spoke with MP Ricardo Menéndez March about the amalgamation of key ministries into a mega ministry but began by talking about the expansion of police powers with move-on orders.

Splore weekend was fantastic! Hopefully we'll do it again next year.
