From 1 July 2007 all enclosed areas of licensed premises were included in the workplace no smoking requirements.
No smoking will also be required in outdoor drinking or dining areas where there is a roof in place and walls covering more than 75% of the notional wall area. Please be aware that any structural alterations to your premise may require Building or Planning Department approval. The contact numbers for these units are - Building 9205 5356 and Planning 9205 5373.
No smoking signage will be required to be displayed in no smoking areas.
Many licensed premises in Yarra do not have a suitable outdoor dining or drinking area within their property boundary. They will therefore be relying on using the footpath for patrons to smoke. There are a number of potential negative amenity impacts that may flow on from use of this public space including increased litter, noise and street obstruction. Council has prepared the following Guidelines to assist businesses in managing any amenity impacts.
