Council helping Bankstown Residents breathe easier
Bankstown City residents and visitors have the right to a clean and healthy environment. Because of this, Council has made its children's playgrounds and sporting fields smoke-free (effective from 1 January 2008). This means everyone can breathe cleaner air and enjoy a healthier environment.
Internationally recognised signage will be erected at these designated smoke-free areas to indicate:
- No smoking within 10 metres of all children's playground equipment
- No smoking within 10 metres of all sporting fields
Why ban smoking at our parks and playgrounds?
- Second-hand smoke is harmful to both children and adults
- Community feedback indicated support for the smoke free areas
- Children exposed to second hand smoke are more likely to suffer from colds and ear infections
- Reduced amount of cigarette butt litter in public places
Council is working with the community to make the Bankstown local area a better place to visit and our environment a better place to live.
