Bylaw No. 20 - Public Places 2008

Explanatory Note

"The Local Government Act 2002 gives authority to territorial authorities to protect the public from nuisance, protect, promote and maintain public health and safety and minimise the potential for anti-social behaviour in public places under the control of council. It also allows territorial authorities to make bylaws to manage and regulate activities carried out in public places under the control of council and to protect public places from loss, damage and misuse.

This Public Places bylaw seeks to regulate and manage a diverse range of activities in public places under the control of Auckland City Council that may cause damage, create public nuisance, compromise public safety and have adverse effects on the user. The bylaw also seeks to regulate and manage activity in public places under the control of council that may compromise Auckland City Council's ability to maintain appropriate standards of convenience, safety and amenity for the well-being and enjoyment of citizens, visitors and businesses with the city.

Public places under the control of Auckland City Council include roads, footpaths and public squares, grass verges, berms, public gardens, reserves and parks, beaches, wharves, breakwaters, ramps and pontoons, foreshores and dunes, access ways, recreational grounds and sports fields.

The bylaw covers activities in public places include commercial activity such as trading and promotion of goods and services, street performance and busking, and entertainment activities and demonstrations, and events. The bylaw also provides for the requirements of building identification and numbering of premises."
