But the City of Sydney is looking to massively relax restrictions for drinking in parks.
consumption laws in places like parks could be a step too far, according to a nine.com.au reader survey.
"We have recently completed a review of outdoor alcohol restrictions with local residents, Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander community-controlled organisations, community legal centres, social housing residents, community organisations, local business and state government stakeholders," the spokesperson said.
"Legislatively, an alcohol-free zone can be established seven days after the resolution of council or seven days after signs are updated – whichever is first," the spokesperson explained. They reduced the list of restrictions to areas with high incidents of alcohol-related crime and areas where communities have strongly advised the laws to stay.It comes as Chris Minns described Sydney's outdoor drinking laws as "uesless". "If an outdoor alcohol restriction applies to an area where a Sydney Streets event takes place then consumption of alcohol can only take place within licensed areas," the spokesperson clarified.
