Cooma & Jindabyne Alcohol Free Zones and Alcohol Prohibited Areas
The Snowy Monaro community is invited to have their say on Alcohol Free Zones and Alcohol Prohibited Areas in Cooma and Jindabyne. Feedback closes on Sunday 4 December 2022.
Council restricts the consumption of alcohol in some public areas overnight, including parks, the Jindabyne Foreshore, footpaths, carparks, etc. Every four years we are required to renew these Alcohol Free Zones and Alcohol Prohibited Areas.
We want to hear from the community on how well the current zones and areas are working, and what you would like done differently.
The proposal that will be taken to the December 2022 Ordinary Council Meeting is:
- Alcohol Free Zones (roads, street footpaths, carparks) will be enforced from 7.00pm to 9.00am inclusive
- Alcohol Prohibited Areas (parks, walking paths, the Lake Jindabyne Foreshore) will be enforced from 9.30pm to 9.00am inclusive
- zoning will apply in the same geographic areas of Cooma and Jindabyne as mapped for the previous (2019) implementation
- zoning will apply for a period of four years, commencing on the date of Council endorsement (expected December 2022)
These area restrictions on public alcohol consumption are enforced by NSW Police.
Private property, licensed premises, and events in public with an exemption are not affected by these restrictions.
