Types of bans you can be given

You can be banned from:

the whole area or
the bars, clubs and restaurants in the area.

You can go to the area if you live or work there.

A banning notice does not ban you from all high risk areas in the Northern Territory (NT).

Being banned by NT Police

If you have committed an offence, or the police believe you are going to commit an offence, you can be:

banned from a high-risk area for up to 14 days (banned drinker order) and
placed on the Banned Drinker Register.

Being banned by a court

If you are guilty of a specified offence, or have been banned from the same area more than once, a court can give you an exclusion order.

This has the same conditions as a banning notice.

Breaking a banning notice or exclusion order

You can be given an infringement notice (fine) if you are either:

in the area
in a bar, club or restaurant you are banned from.
