The proposal would make it unlawful to consume alcohol at any time within the areas signposted as Alcohol Free Zones and Alcohol Prohibited Areas, except when on a licensed premises within the Alcohol Free Zone or Alcohol Prohibited Area, as the responsibility for ensuring the lawful behaviour of patrons on these premises rests with the holder of the liquor license. Any person observed to be drinking in an alcohol-free zone may have the alcohol in their possession immediately seized and tipped out or otherwise disposed of by the police.
