Government has decided to extend takeaway alcohol restrictions in Alice Springs. Evidence has shown alcohol-related emergency department presentations at Alice Springs Hospital have reduced by a third, and domestic violence has halved since the restrictions were introduced. Along with Police consultation, we have also seen a decrease in alcohol related harm and assaults. The number of children protective custody notifications has also decreased. With the restrictions having the desired impact, we need to make sure momentum is not halted.
