This Australia Day lets appreciate this great country by showing community connectedness with family, friends and young people to ensure celebrations are in a safe and secure environment.
As per legislation, did you know that in Queensland it is an offence to drink alcohol or possess an open alcoholic drink in a public place, like the beach, streets and parks?
Gold Coast Police will be patrolling proactively and monitoring this during Australia Day.
The Gold Coast City Council will be supporting this message with a number of signs depicting alcohol prohibited followed by the words ‘penalties apply’.
Police can issue on the spot fines from $117 for liquor offences.
Gold Coast Police would like to wish everybody a safe, memorable and happy Australia Day.
