New Licence for sale of Ice cream
SIGNIFICANT DECISION: NO
DATE: 28 May 2013
OBJECTIVE DOCUMENT ID: A11 06981
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
On 26 February 2013, Council resolved to grant a new licence to Gelateria Taup6 Limited for a
further five year term to operate from the Taupo Lakefront site on Lake Terrace. A new licence has
since been granted for five years commencing 1 May 2013 that allows the Licensee to operate
from 1 November to 30 April in each year of the term. This leaves the period from 1 May to 31
October in each of the next five years free for use by another licensee. Stuart Graham [trading as
Mr Whippy] has applied to use the site during this period.
Granting a licence to Mr Graham to operate on the Gelateria site from 1 May to 31 October for the
next five years does not affect the Gelateria operation and allows Council to increase the return
from this licence area. It also improves the service to the public by making some form of ice-cream
product available all year round. It is therefore recommended that Council grant Mr Graham a
licence to trade during this period.
SUGGESTED RESOLUTIONS
1. That Council agrees to grant a licence under section 54[1]d of the Reserves Act
1977 to Stuart Graham [trading as Mr Whippy] to sell ice-cream from the Taupo
Lakefront Reserve opposite 128 Lake Terrace from 1 May to 31 October in each of
the five years commencing 1 May 2013.
2. That the Mayor and Chief Executive Officer are authorised to execute the Licence
documentation.
