The following was announced in the Examiner (Port Stephens), so all Clubs should make their members aware of the situation and be prepared if the Council applies any fines to individuals.
Smoke – Free Sporting fields
From July 1, all sporting fields in Port Stephens will be smoke free.
Council adopted a Smoke Free Outdoor Policy in December 2008 for children’s playgrounds, alfresco dining areas and beaches, as well as parks and reserves. The smoking ban has been introduced in stages, starting with children’s playgrounds and from July sporting fields will be added to the list.
All five sports councils in Port Stephens have endorsed the smoke free policy.
No smoking signs will be placed around sporting fields commencing this July.
Port Stephens Examiner 25th June 2009.
