Drinking in public places 
Most places other than someone’s house are public places. Many public places are restricted drinking areas. It is illegal to have or drink alcohol in these places.
They include:
Footpaths, roads, parks, beaches;
Shopping centres;
Unlicensed restaurants, cafes and dining areas (places that do not sell alcohol);
Community centres, halls and churches;
Theatres, libraries and galleries;
Public transport (buses, trains, trams, aeroplanes, taxis, ferries);
Gyms and sporting facilities;
Hospitals.
If you are caught you can be:
given a warning, a formal caution, fined on the spot ($72.18), or choose to go to court.
The police decide which penalty to apply, but you can always choose to go to court instead. The alcohol can be confiscated by the police.
