Description
Explicit alcohol-prohibition sign with penalty notice, designed for council-declared alcohol-free zones and liquor-restricted premises. The "Penalties Apply" wording reinforces enforcement authority and deters breach in zones where police or council officers can issue on-the-spot fines under state liquor and local-government legislation. Manufactured in Colorbond, polypropylene, aluminium, or vinyl in two standard sizes (225×300mm and 300×450mm). Optional Class 1 and 2 reflective finishes enhance visibility in low-light conditions. Platinum Signs supplies trade accounts with bulk pricing, pre-drilled mounting holes, and laminated edges for weatherproofing. Delivery across Australia.
Final sign type, wording, size, placement and material depend on the site risk, project specification and applicable jurisdiction. Confirm the requirement with the relevant WHS adviser or regulator.

Frequently asked
Does this sign give council officers power to issue fines?
No. In declared alcohol-free zones under state liquor legislation, police and authorised council officers already have enforcement power. This sign communicates that power to the public and strengthens the venue owner's right to refuse service and evict patrons.
Can I use this in a private bar or club?
Yes, but penalties depend on whether your venue is in a declared council zone. In private venues outside declared zones, the sign supports your house rules and right to eject patrons; actual fines require a declared zone and authorised officer.
What's the difference between Class 1 and Class 2 reflective?
Reflective grades provide different visibility performance. Choose the grade required by the project specification and site conditions, and confirm any road, traffic or high-risk requirement with the relevant authority before ordering.
How many should I order for a council zone?
Place signs at every entry point where the public might access the zone — main gates, carpark entries, and pedestrian pathways. We recommend a site audit with your council's compliance officer to confirm placement.
Is there a discount for ordering both alcohol signs together?
Automatic volume pricing is 5–9 signs: 8% off, 10–24 signs: 15% off, 25–49 signs: 24% off, 50–99 signs: 32% off, 100+ signs: 40% off. The configurator is the source of truth and updates the unit price as quantity changes.
