To consume alcohol in a Public Restricted Area in Alice Springs

Are you

•    organising a community event (like a street party or a fundraising fete)?

From 1 August 2007, a permit will be needed for all functions or events in a public place* where alcohol is consumed. (*Alcohol can be consumed at the picnic area at the Telegraph Station without a permit).

Holders of existing special licences and continuing special licences for events held on public land will also require a
permit to allow for the consumption of alcohol in public places.
