The purpose of the Wastewater Bylaw is to promote and protect the health of communities and the environment, and to protect the wastewater drainage system from damage and misuse. Perceived Problems The Wastewater Bylaw seeks to address the following perceived problems in the Central Hawkes Bay District:
The table below summarises the key changes proposed through this proposed new bylaw compared to the existing Central Hawkes Bay District Wastewater Bylaw 2018.
Key Changes to the Wastewater Bylaw
Key Change |
Reason for the Change |
|
To set the scene for a holistic and integrated approach to all three of Council’s Water Services and meet Councils District Plan, Policies and Strategies |
|
To improve readability and flow of the document by removing any duplication within the bylaw and with the Local Government Act and clarifying the intent of the bylaw. |
|
These are being installed in two locations in the district. Currently the bylaw does not cover caravan waste. This is now covered in the definition of tankered waste, defining it as domestic. The management and control of the caravan waste disposal points will be done through guidance on the Council website, and through Council processes. |
|
This will assist with the prevention of inflow into the wastewater network, and with locating the private drains for any future connection to the existing drain |
Assessment against the New Zealand Bill of Rights Act 1990
Consideration has been given to the New Zealand Bill of Rights Act 1990. The proposed Central Hawkes Bay District Wastewater Bylaw 2021 will not give rise to any implications under the NZBORA and the limits imposed by this proposed bylaw is appropriate to the purpose of the bylaw.
