Residents across the Isaac region will get a chance to enjoy social drinks in additional parks as Isaac Regional Council is increasing the number of designated public places for the purpose of the Liquor Act 1992.
Mayor Anne Baker said council is committed to improving the liveability of the region through implementing safe opportunities for residents to use public parks and facilities.
"We live in a great region that is driven by pure people power and is highly social," Mayor Baker said.
"Through creating additional spaces where people can gather for a social drink with friends and family, we will achieve open, welcoming communities that are inclusive and resilient."
Each new designated public place where liquor may be consumed will have its own period or times that specify when the designation is to have effect. Mayor Baker said residents should read the notice signs at each location to ensure they are following the law.
"We have some wonderful parks and facilities across the region, and we want people to be able to take full advantage of them," Mayor Baker said.

| Moranbah | Sunshine Park and Mouat Park (in addition To Binda Park, Bernborough Park and Lions Park) |
