We work with Victoria Police and other agencies to minimise the negative impacts of alcohol and other drugs on our community.
To support our residents to access information, advice and referrals on alcohol and other drug use for themselves and their family, we have developed a pocket-sized Alcohol and other Drugs Quick Reference Guide(PDF, 81KB) .
Two alcohol restricted zones operate within the areas surrounding Preston Market shopping precinct in Preston and the Edwardes Street shopping precinct Reservoir. The zones are implemented in partnership with Darebin Police in an attempt to address public drinking and enhance perceptions of safety in the zones.
In the designated area the consumption or carrying of an open container of alcohol is prohibited and may incur a $200 fine.
Cafes and restaurants are exempt and can continue trading under the conditions of their existing approved liquor license application.
