Smoking

Through our "Smoke Free Zones - Breathe Easy Trial" initiative we have established several smoke free zones including:

• from the start of the Boardwalk at the Little Grand Parade up to the kiosk at Brighton Beach

• Cook Park

• Lady Robinsons Beach from Kyeemagh to Sandringham.

We have also limited the areas where you can use a charcoal barbecue. There are now four designated BBQ areas along our foreshore.

Authorised officers, police and health inspectors conduct regular patrols. People who breach the ban may incur a fine of up to $300.

Smoking is not permitted in any outdoor dining area.
