Alcohol Free Zones Re-Established
Explore Councils by state
Alcohol Free Zones (Zones) have been re-established in Moree, Boggabilla and Mungindi following a resolution passed by Council and signage replaced advising of the zones.
The Zones have been re-established within 300 metres of outlets supplying alcohol in Boggabilla and Mungindi and within 500 metres in Moree.
The draft proposal to re-establish the Zones in Moree, Boggabilla and Mungindi was on public exhibition for 30 days and accessible to community members for comment through Council’s website. Relevant stakeholders such as Moree Community Safety Committee, NSW Police, local Licensees, Local Aboriginal Land Councils and the Anti-Discrimination Board were also invited through direct correspondence to provide feedback on the proposal.
Four submissions were in support of the re-establishment of the Zones while one submission requested a variation. Upon review, Council considered there was no need to modify or increase the area of the Zones.
The Zones have been enforced within Moree, Boggabilla, and Mungindi since 2012, and have proven to be an effective tool in assisting NSW Police and Council to manage the safety of our community members.
