Legislative Assembly for the ACT: 1995 Week 9 Hansard (23 November) . . Page.. 2566 ..

THE REGULATION WILL HAVE THE EFFECT OF MAKING THE CONSUMPTION OF LIQUOR AN OFFENCE FOR THE DURATION OF THE 1995 SUMMERNATS EVENT IN THE AREAS PRESCRIBED IN SUBREGULATION 11(3).

THE PRESCRIBING OF DRY AREAS FOR SUMMERNATS 1993 AND 1994, ALONG WITH OTHER CHANGES IN FORMAT, HAS RESULTED IN A SIGNIFICANT LESSENING OF PROBLEMS ASSOCIATED WITH THIS EVENT

THE REGULATION ALSO HAS THE EFFECT OF MAKING THE CONSUMPTION OF LIQUOR AN OFFENCE FOR THE DURATION OF THE BOOZE LESS BE YOUR BEST SLEEPOUT EVENT IN THE AREA OF STAGE 88 IN COMMONWEALTH PARK IN CANBERRA.

THE SLEEPOUT IS SPECIFICALLY TARGETED AT PERSONS AGED 12 TO 18 AND ORGANISERS OF THE EVENT, FM104.7, HAVE REQUESTED THE DECLARATION OF THE DRY AREA TO HELP ENSURE THE EVENT AND THE SURROUNDING AREA IS ALCOHOL FREE.

THE AREA DECLARED DRY FOR THE SLEEPOUT IS SIMILAR TO THE AREA DECLARED DRY FOR THE 1995 FOOD, WINE AND ALL THAT JAZZ EVENT.

I HAVE BEEN UNABLE TO TABLE THIS REGULATION WITHIN 15 SITTING DAYS OF THE EVENTS. I APOLOGISE FOR THIS INCONVENIENCE AND COMMEND THIS REGULATION TO THE ASSEMBLY.
