Public Health & Liquor Licencing<br />
<strong>Long</strong> term projections for the district indicate that there will<br />
be growth. Therefore, it is assumed that there will at some<br />
stage be an increased demand for inspections and licensing. A<br />
big challenge for us is to find a medium step between enabling<br />
tourism to flourish (and therefore, enabling outlets to sell alcohol<br />
at all hours), and ensuring the communities and members of the<br />
public are not subjected to the effect of bad behaviour through<br />
alcohol abuse.<br />

We have been working closely with the Selwyn and Waimakariri<br />
<strong>District</strong> <strong>Council</strong>s to share our building officers and resources to<br />
manage this area more efficiently. Skilled building officers have<br />
been in high demand and this is expected to continue for some<br />
years due to the impact of the Canterbury Earthquakes since<br />
September 2010.<br />
<strong>Council</strong> is assuming business as usual within this activity area.<br />

Performance Measures Current Situation 11/12 12/13 13/14 14/15 15+<br />
By 2014/15 all earthquake<br />
prone buildings have been<br />
inspected<br />
80%* of building consents<br />
are processed within 20<br />
working days<br />
100% of licenced food and<br />
on licence liquor premises<br />
are inspected annually<br />
All serious** dog<br />
complaints are followed up<br />
within 24 hours<br />

100% were inspected √ √ √ √<br />
This is a new measure √ √ √ √<br />
*Due to the demand for building officers, we expect this performance measure to be difficult to achieve. Ideally, we would aim for 100% but<br />
this is unlikely in the foreseeable future.<br />
**Serious dog complaints involve dog attacks and/or biting incidents.<br />
