Decisions
Alcohol-free zone suspensions approved for Christmas events
Council authorised suspension of alcohol-free zones covering Gaskill Street, Canowindra and Bank Street, Molong, including adjoining road reserves and footpaths, for the 2026 Christmas shopping events. A request was made to extend the Molong area past Shields Lane to include Edward Street, but the recorded motion specifies Bank Street.
