Clover Moore’s alcohol clampdown in Sydney

Sydney City Council is pushing for a freeze on any new nightclubs and late-night pubs in the city’s hot spots around the CBD, Kings Cross and Oxford St.

The plan comes as the council moved towards making George Street an alcohol free zone on New Year’s Eve for the first time. 

As part of the proposed measures to clean up Sydney’s night life Lord mayor Clover Moore said the Government should:

OVERHAUL the 3am taxi change-over time and provide secure ranks; to ensure there is adequate taxi transport.

INCREASE public transport to late night entertainment areas;

REMOVE extended trading hours from the worst managed pubs and clubs that are hotspots of crime; and 

INTRODUCE mandatory controls on alcohol advertising.
