Penrith City Council is proposing the re-establishment of Alcohol Free Zones (AFZ) and Alcohol Prohibited Areas (APA) across the Penrith Local Government Area (LGA) for a four-year period from 2025 to 2029.
AFZs and APAs are established to prohibit alcohol consumption in public places where there is identified community need. The locations are supported by evidence, police statistics or community reports, of alcohol-related antisocial behaviour.
Have Your Say
The existing AFZs and APAs expire on 30 June 2025. Council is inviting feedback from the community regarding the proposed re-establishment of these locations.
Consultation is open for 30 days and closes at 5pm, Sunday 16 March 2025.
