Alcohol Restrictions,Antisocial Behaviour,Alcohol Related Harm

Residents are frustrated with alcohol problems in Ceduna, but leaders say housing and employment challenges are underpinning social issues.

What's next?Frustrated business owners in Ceduna, on the west coast of South Australia's Eyre Peninsula, say new alcohol restrictions do not go far enough to address alcohol-related issues in the community.

"Unfortunately, people were getting alcohol from different places and it was being obtained illegally anyway. I don't think it will make any difference," she said."I love living in Ceduna, but I feel like at the moment the whole fabric of the town is being destroyed by antisocial behaviour, which I've witnessed firsthand," he said.

Oak Valley Aboriginal Corporation director Lance Ingomar said one of the reasons people from the community visited Ceduna was for more affordable groceries.
