(Collapse content)Specified Roads and Facilities – Bona Fide Traveller Exemption
Certain roads and public areas which are included in a restricted area have been declared as “specified roads and public facilities”. A bona fide traveller exemption applies to specified roads and facilities whereby someone passing through can carry more than the prescribed amount of alcohol allowed in the restricted area, provided they meet the following criteria:
* a reverse onus of proof applies and travellers will have to provide evidence their destination is not the restricted area; evidence can include a booking for accommodation outside the restricted area or a drivers licence showing an address outside of the restricted area;
* alcohol is secured in the vehicle, is not externally visible and is not removed from the vehicle while travelling on a specified road or using a public facility; and
* vehicles may only stop in emergency circumstances or when attending a specified public facility such as the
Doomadgee Roadhouse or
Bloomfield Falls car park in
Wujal Wujal.
While you are travelling through a restricted area on a specified road do not turn off the road if you are carrying in excess of the carriage limit as the exemption does not apply anywhere else in the restricted area. Heavy fines apply.
