Over 50 expiation notices were given to to Schoolies for drinking in a ‘dry zone’.
Superintendent Mark Fairney said “Its great to see so many Schoolies have taken advice from parents and police to be responsible and enjoy themselves lets hope this continues for the rest of the weekend. The volunteers from Encounter Youth continue to do a great job and are always there to help. Remember if you don’t feel safe or something doesn’t feel right the green team and police are there to help don’t hesitate to ask.”
Just a reminder Schoolies Festival is NOT a licensed event and Warland Reserve is a declared dry-zone. Save your money and don’t be tempted to drink in the dry-zone.
