| Smoking, Alcohol Banned in Brelsford Park |

The new adventure playground in Coffs Harbour's Brelsford Park will now be smoke-free.
The park has been added to a growing list of public facilities going smoke-free, such as the International Sports Stadium.
In addition to the ban, alcohol and glass containers are now prohibited at skate parks in Coffs Harbour, Woolgoolga, Corindi and Toormina.
Coffs Harbour Mayor Keith Rhoades says penalty notices could be issued by rangers but he is hoping people will abide by the bans.
"Council believes that is the correct way to move and we've had representations from parents saying that this would be a good thing if it could happen," he said.
"By banning the consumption of alcohol and glass containers at all times in these areas it allows police, if they happen to come across antisocial behaviour, to confiscate the alcohol.
"Council resolved to bring into line at the four skate parks within the local government area plus the Brelsford Park Adventure Playground bans on the consumption of alcohol.
"At Brelsford Park council went a bit further and бн prohibited smoking from within the complex itself plus for 10 metres around the facility." Enditem |
