Why we’re doing this

Alcohol restrictions in designated outdoor public areas provide NSW police with the authority to confiscate or dispose of alcohol where necessary. These restrictions do not involve fines.

Your feedback will inform a report to Council. If the proposal is approved, these restrictions could be in place for up to 4 years.

How you can give feedback

Consultation closes at 5pm on Wednesday 19 August 2026.
