New Alcohol Free Zone Proposal for The Block @ Redfern

The City of Sydney has launched their Draft Street Drinking Strategy to address the impact street drinking can have on individuals and the community and in particular that of Redfern and the Black Theatre mob. The Redfern Alcohol Free Zone includes:
• Eveleigh Street between Lawson and Vine Street
• Louis Street between Caroline and Vine Street
• Vine Street between Eveleigh Street and Abercrombie Street
• Caroline Street between Eveleigh Street and Abercrombie Street
• Holden Street
• Eveleigh Lane between Vine Street and Caroline Street
• Caroline Lane between Eveleigh and Abercrombie Street
• Lawson Street between Gibbons Street and Little Eveleigh Street

The Council have placed on exhibition proposals to establish new Alcohol Free Zones in other suburbs including Pyrmont, King Cross, Newtown, and Surry Hills.

The map showing the proposed Redfern and Chippendale zones can be downloaded from the council website or by clicking here.
