Tobacco
Tobacco products must not be visible from anywhere inside or outside a retail outlet.
In 2000, the Tobacco (Amendment) Act was introduced to parliament. This provided the basis for a number of new laws controlling tobacco sale and smoke-free areas in Victoria.
As a result residents can now enjoy a smoke-free environment while eating out in all enclosed environments such as shopping centres, restaurant's, licensed premises and gaming venues.
In addition enclosed workplaces, underage ‘music/dance' events and all covered areas of train station platforms and bus stops are also smoke-free.
These new laws have been put in place to help keep the Victorian community free from tobacco-related illnesses.
The Council's Environmental Health Services department is responsible for ensuring that all premises within Greater Shepparton are compliant with the new tobacco laws.
