Consumption of alcohol
You cannot consume alcohol on any City of Hobart land without a permit.
To apply for a permit, complete the Liquor Permit Application form(PDF, 1MB).
Note: We reserve the right to refuse any application.
Public places
Some parks in and around Hobart are identified as public places and therefore restrictions on the consumption of alcohol apply. (This has been done under section 25 of the Police Offences Act 1935.)
