Where can't you drink in public?

It is prohibited to consume alcohol in public areas, including all parks and reserves, in any of the Alcohol Ban areas. Members of the public are still able to transport or carry containers of alcohol through the area (for example from a bottle store to their car) but not allowed to drink, hold or store liquor in any liquor ban area.

The alcohol bans are in place at all times. The one exception is within the Westshore-specified area where the restrictions apply overnight - from 8.00pm to 6.00am the following morning. It's important to note that the bans do not apply to private property at any time.

The Alcohol Control bylaw is enforced by the police who have authority to search, detain and request details.

Should you have any questions with regard to the bylaw contact Council's Environmental Health Team.
