Background

Council’s current Alcohol Free Zones (on streets) and Alcohol Prohibited Areas (in parks) are
due to expire in November 2019.

Alcohol Free Zones (AFZs) on streets and Alcohol Prohibited Areas in parks are established
under Section 644, 644A, and 644B, and Section 632 and 632A, respectively, of the Local
Government Act 1993. AFZs cannot be declared for more than 4 years and on establishment
or renewal must be accompanied by public consultation, including with the local Police
Command and Licensees in the areas affected.

While establishing Alcohol Prohibited Areas is not restricted in the same way as AFZs, and
they need not be time restricted, Council has voluntarily adopted a process that enables public
consultation on both categories at the same time, as it considers this to be in the interests of
ready understanding and communication between the public and Police. For more information refer to the Council Report in the document library.
