Compliance - Alcohol-free Zones, December 2008 - 2011
Warringah Council is seeking public comment from 1 May to 1 June 2012 on its proposal for new Alcohol Prohibited Areas (APA) and Alcohol Free Zones. Council proposes to create APAs in all public parks, reserves and beaches in Warringah from 10pm until 8am, with the exception of Walter Gors Park in Dee Why and Queenscliff Headland where, due to a history of daytime anti-social behaviour, the APA would be in place 24 hours per day.

Drinking alcohol is prohibited in alcohol-free zones (AFZ) established by Council. Public roads, footpaths and car parks may be included in an AFZ. Alcohol-free zones promote the use of these areas in safety and without interference from irresponsible street drinkers.
Alcohol-free zones are enforced by the Police
Any person seen drinking in an AFZ must be warned that it is prohibited and given the opportunity to stop drinking. A person who fails to stop drinking after a warning may have the alcohol in their possession confiscated and/or fined.
