- Summary
-
The Local Government Act, with some restrictions, allows councils, in consultation with the local Police, business, community organisations and residents to impose Alcohol Free Zones on public streets, and to prohibit the consumption of alcohol in parks.
This only can only happen by way of a Council resolution to that effect, followed by a period of public exhibition.
The Zones and the prohibited areas are established under Section 644, 644A, and 644B, and Section 632, respectively, of the Local Government Act, 1993.
Currently, Alcohol Free Zones (Streets) and Alcohol Prohibited Areas (Parks) allow for confiscation and disposal of alcohol, and a $200 fine if judged to be obstructing the Police.
