314: Prohibition of vehicles and consumption or possession of intoxicating liquor in public place

You could also call this:

“Rules about vehicles and drinking in public stay in place for a year”

When this section begins, any rule that stops vehicles or drinking alcohol in public places will keep working for 12 months. These rules were made under sections 709A to 709H of the Local Government Act 1974.

You can change these rules before the 12 months are over. The local council can make a new rule under section 146(b) to cancel the old rule in their area.

Even though these rules were made under the old law, they will be treated as if they were made under the new law. This means that sections 169, 239, and 240 of the new law will apply to them. Also, section 170 will treat these rules as if they were made under section 147 of the new law.
