building entrances

where is smoking not permitted?

  • 2 metres around entrances and other doorways to all non-domestic buildings is nonsmoking from 1 January 2003.
  • This includes enclosed walkways and doorways to shops, shopping centres, restaurants, public buildings, hotels, clubs etc.
  • If there is an enclosed entrance to the door of the area, the 2 metre law applies from where the enclosed entrance starts.

exceptions

  • For alfresco dining areas (such as courtyards, on balconies and footpaths) that allow smoking and beer gardens, the rule preventing smoking within 2 metres of doorways and entrances does not apply.
