Thank you for your request for information pertaining to St Jerome's
Laneway Festival - 28 January 2019 - Albert Park Precinct.

 

Please find attached the Resource Consent, Decision and Noise Management
Plan.

 

o A list of who the approved stakeholders are that were consulted for
this event and what process was followed to determine who they were.

 

The following is the list of approval stakeholders consulted during the
planning and permitting of the St. Jerome’s Laneway Festival event for
2019:

o Community Facilities, Auckland Council – Waitematā
o Heritage Events team, Auckland Council
o Arboriculture Advisors, Auckland Council
o Liquor Licensing, Auckland Council Central team
o Resource Consents and Compliance, Auckland Council
o Environmental Noise, Auckland Council
o Auckland Transport Special Events, Auckland Transport
o Streetscapes, Auckland Transport
o Waste Solutions, Auckland Council
o NZ Police
o Arts, Community and Events, Senior Health and Safety Specialist,
Auckland Council
o NZ Fire
o University of Auckland
o Waitematā Local Board

 

Additional stakeholders notified during the permitting process were:

o Auckland City Mayor’s Office
o Parks, Auckland Council
o Building Consents, Auckland Council
o Civil Defence, Auckland Council
o Parking Resolutions, Auckland Transport
o Parking, Auckland Transport
o St Johns
o Heart of the City
o Ventia

 

Regarding the process followed to determine approval stakeholders for an
event we follow a preidentified list of stakeholders, dependent on
relevant aspects associated with the event. These include any triggers
around relevant regulatory bylaws and compliance, legal requirements under
the Unitary Plan, Land Owner Approvals and any agencies that may need to
consider the operational impacts of the event.

 

o What is the process in place to consult with stakeholders and what
steps were taken to consult and when.

 

Once an event application has been received from an event organiser, the
Waitematā Event Facilitator first sends out an advanced warning to the
Waitematā Local Board about the event, highlighting key information and
potential ‘triggers’ as below:

 

 

-              TICKETED EVENT

-              CLOSURE OR SUBSTANTIAL CLOSURE OF THE PUBLIC SPACE.

-              ROAD CLOSURE

-              LIQUOR

-              MORE THAN 500 PEOPLE

-              AMPLIFIED SOUND

-              COMMERICAL SPONSORSHIP

-              NEW EVENT

 

Event Name:                       

When:                                   

Where:                                 

Expected numbers:            

Previous occurrences:       

 

Event Description:              

 

At this stage of the process we are looking for any concerns or comments
from the local board, not an approval. Once any comments have been
received from the Waitemata Local Board the facilitation team then reach
out to the organiser for all the key information required to compile the
Initial Event Proposal (IEP). The IEP document provides all essential
information to stakeholders during the planning stages of the event and
requires approvals to be provided from approval stakeholders and provides
additional stakeholders the opportunity for comment or questioning.

Additional to the IEP process, for the St. Jerome’s Laneway Festival,
planning meetings are held with key approval stakeholders and the event
promoters to go over details in the earlier planning stages.

The St. Jerome’s Laneway Festival has a current resource consent as
required to operate in the space which is a requirement of the event
permitting process due to the scope and impact of this event.

the event site. There were two letter drops delivered for the 2019 St.
Jerome’s Laneway Festival on:

o 14 December 2019

Letters were delivered within the area shown below:

The University of Auckland and Pullman Hotel were not included in this

the event. A letter from the Mayor of Auckland is sent to the Vice
Chancellor of the University requesting closure on the day of the
event also.
o The Pullman Hotel is used by the event for accommodation and dressing
rooms during the event.

Additionally, two road closure notifications were published in the NZ
Herald as required for the temporary road closures affecting Princes
Street, Alfred Street and Wellesley Street. The proposed road closure
notice was published on 13 January 2019 and the temporary notice on 23
January 2019.

Special Event signage was installed in the week prior to the event on
Princes Street, Alfred Street and Wellesley Street as well as digital
display boards in the area also.

 

 

o Information on any post-event consultation or debrief, information on
the process of post-event consultation, including a list of
stakeholders selected to be involved in this process.

 

The post event debrief for the 2019 St. Jerome’s Laneways event took place
on 11 February 2019. The purpose of this meeting is to gain feedback from
stakeholders in terms of the operation and impact of the event. All
approval stakeholders are invited/requested to attend the event debrief,
and to provide input and feedback.

Attendees invited to for this meeting were as below:
