All sports fields and surrounding reserves in Ballina Shire are Alcohol Prohibited areas (APZ). This declaration makes sporting events more family friendly. It assists sports clubs in meeting their licencing obligations by ensuring the only alcohol that is consumed at a sporting event is purchased from the licensed bar and consumed in the licensed area.
It is an offence to consume alcohol in any park or reserve in Ballina Shire between 10pm and 7am.
This prohibition on Crown and Council land is made under Section 632 of the Local Government Act 1993.
