Smoking has been banned in spectator areas at all sport venues since 7 January 2013 under the Smoke-free Environment Act 2000.

Club members and spectators are saying they are not aware of the new regulation, but unfortunately this excuse will not prevent the individual from receiving a fine.

The Club will be taking steps to reinforce the awareness of this new regulation.

The fine for smoking at a sporting event is $550 to the individual smoker.

For more information please see the No Smoking at Sportgrounds Factsheet
