The Smoke-free Environment Act bans smoking in enclosed public places. Some venues may voluntarily choose to adopt a non-smoking policy in their outdoor areas. A number of Local Councils have taken action through section 632 of the NSW Local Government Act 1993 to ban smoking in outdoor areas such as outside dining areas. The Cancer Council NSW has developed a resource kit for local councils on establishing smoke-free outdoor areas. These resources can be accessed from The Cancer Council NSW website.
