About the Property Maintenance and Nuisance Bylaw 2015
The Bylaw sets rules that aim to minimise public health risks and protect the public from nuisance from poorly maintained private property.
What we proposed
The main proposals were to:
remove lighting rules regulated through the Unitary Plan since 2018
remove reference to expired legacy council bylaws
update definitions, structure, format and wording of the Bylaw to make it easier to read and understand.
Other aspects of the Bylaw remain unchanged, for example:
the Bylaw focuses on the impact of poorly maintained private property
the effect of existing rules in the Bylaw for which changes are not proposed, for example, the requirement for industrial cooling tower water system owners to register, test and maintain their systems.
