Safe night precinct support services

Safe night precinct support services (SNPSS) are a component of the Queensland Government Safe night precincts initiative.

SNPSS contribute to creating a safer night-time environment by identifying and assisting vulnerable people who are intoxicated in the safe night precincts.

SNPSS services include:

  • mobile patrol monitoring public spaces within the safe night precinct area to identify and assist people who may be in distress and/or at risk of harm due to intoxication and/or violence
  • rest and recovery spaces providing a safe place for intoxicated people and those affected by alcohol-related violence to receive support, supervision and first aid, and to reduce the risk of harm to themselves or others.

SNPSS operate during the peak late-night entertainment hours on Friday and Saturday nights (10pm to 4am Friday/Saturday and Saturday/Sunday). The exact operating hours for each location differ according to local characteristics.
