Alcohol-Free Zones on Public Exhibition

Published On

25/05/2017

Central Coast Council are undertaking a review of Alcohol-Free Zones across the region, with proposed locations on public exhibition for a period of 28 days.

Alcohol-Free Zones aim to reduce alcohol related crime, violence and anti-social behaviour in identified locations in order to help create a safer environment for the whole community.

An Alcohol-Free Zone relates to public roads, car parks and footpaths, however, these zones will not restrict outdoor dining licences where Council approval has been granted.

The zones will be in place for a four (4) year period and Council is currently seeking feedback from the community regarding the establishment of Alcohol-Free Zones in the following suburbs:

Avoca Beach; Bateau Bay; Berkeley Vale; Budgewoi; Chain Valley Bay; Copacabana; Doyalson; Empire Bay; Ettalong Beach; Gosford; Gwandalan; Killarney Vale; Kincumber; Kingfisher Shores; Kulnura; Lake Haven; Lake Munmorah; Long Jetty; Mannering Park; Narara; Niagara Park; Norah Head; Ourimbah; Patonga; Pearl Beach; San Remo; Saratoga; Shelley Beach; Summerland Point; Terrigal; The Entrance; The Entrance North; Toowoon Bay; Toukley; Umina Beach; Wadalba; Wamberal; Woy Woy and Wyong.

A complete list of the specific locations, as well as a collection of maps for proposed Alcohol-Free Zones is available to view at yourvoiceourcoast.com

You can submit your feedback by email to ask@centralcoast.nsw.gov.au; by post to PO Box 21 Gosford NSW 2250 or PO Box 20 Wyong NSW 2259 (this must be lodged within 28 days of 19 May 2017).
