Onkaparinga residents can have a say on a proposal for a dry area for the Port Noarlunga Jetty, including the area of beach beneath the jetty.

The council has received a request to extend the dry area, which is supported by South Australia Police, who directly tackle ongoing alcohol related issues in this area.

For a public place to be declared a dry area under the Liquor Licensing Act 1997, the City of Onkaparinga must submit an application to Consumer and Business Services that outlines the proposal along with evidence of community engagement. 

The final decision is made by the Minister following a recommendation by the Commissioner.

The council is now seeking community feedback that will be included as part of the application process.

Go to the YourSay page of the council website to provide feedback. Consultation is open until 5 July.
