A MESSAGE FROM THE DISTRICT COUNCIL OF COOBER PEDY:

Coming together is a beginning, keeping together is progress, and working together is success HENRY F
Coober Pedy has expressed very strong concerns regarding the impact of
alcohol on the community and has, on a continuing basis, struggled to deal with
the consequences.
The Coober Pedy Alcohol Management Plan, 2013-2018, is an important

document that defines how Council and Service Agencies in Coober Pedy will
approach the issue of alcohol abuse and its effects on residents and visitors to
our town.
The previous Coober Pedy Alcohol Management Strategy 2000 included 39

recommendations of which some have been achieved and some have not. This
plan carries on from the previous work done and the achievements of the 2000
Strategy.
This document is a strategic response to alcohol issues in Coober Pedy and sets
tasks and goals for the next five years.
I encourage the community to embrace this plan and work collaboratively to

achieve the goals contained within.

SECTION ONE
1.1 Background:
Coober Pedy is situated 846 kilometres north of Adelaide in South Australia. Opal was discovered in the area in
1915 and since then the town has been supplying most of the worlds gem-quality opal and is the largest opal
mining area in the world. 1 However, more recently with a decline in readily available opal, Coober Pedy has
relied more heavily on tourism to provide the community with economic sustainability and employment. Recently
other mining opportunities across the north of South Australia have arisen with the development of Prominent Hill
and Cairn Hill mines, both located within 140 kilometers of the town. Also, in 2013 it was reported that significant
oil bearing shale has been found near Coober Pedy in the Arckaringa Basin.2 These oil and mineral deposits now
provide potential for economic development and opportunities for training and further employment within the
region.
Coober Pedy is a multi cultural town with a population comprising approximately 45 different ethnic and cultural
groups.
The 2006 census states that the population of Coober Pedy was 1,913 of which 269 or 14.06% were Aboriginal.
In 2011 the census data indicates a drop in total population to 1,695 of which 274 or 16.16% are Aboriginal.3
The District Council of Coober Pedy believes the population is higher than the census count, and considers it to be
more in the vicinity of 3,500 with approximately 500 or 14.3% being Aboriginal.
Aboriginal people have a long standing connection with the area4 and in 2011 the Antakirinja MatuYankunytjatjara people were recognised as native title holders over a large area of land and waters in and
around Coober Pedy. 5
Coober Pedy lies approximately 300 kilometres from the nearest entry point into the Anangu Pitjantjatjara
Yankunytjatjarra Lands (APY Lands). The APY Lands people are connected to Aboriginal people living in Coober
Pedy by tribal and family links, and many traditionally visit Coober Pedy for business purposes and family
reasons. Other people from locations such as Finke, Oodnadatta, Port Augusta, West Coast and the Northern
Territory also frequent Coober Pedy. These visits are often for extended periods of time with people temporarily
residing in Coober Pedy, and incorporate large seasonal and ceremonial influxes.
This transitory population is reported to have increased over the last five years and particularly as communities in
North Western South Australia, Western Australia and the Northern Territory have tightened the management of
alcohol supply and introduced stronger alcohol management strategies. 6
Over the past two decades the town has introduced a variety of strategies in response to public drinking and
incidences of anti social behaviour, associated with alcohol misuse within the local community and the visiting
transitory population.
Two important initiatives were; the introduction of a Dry Area regulation within the main CBD area of the town in
1996, and the development of the Coober Pedy Alcohol Strategy, a blue print for future alcohol misuse
interventions, published in 2000 by the Crime Prevention Unit of the state Attorney Generals Department.
In January 2013, in response to continuing public drinking, anti social behaviour and fears for the health and well
being of the whole community, including those severely affected by alcohol dependence, the District Council of
Coober Pedy commissioned a review of these two initiatives.
The Coober Pedy Alcohol Management Plan, 2013-2018 is a result of this most recent review and is largely in
response to the need for an updated action plan and the facilitation of a more cohesive and comprehensive
approach to management of the problem.

1.2 CONTEXT: EVIDENCE BASED COMPARISONS

The following discussion points identify the links made between local community based issues and other important
and relevant research and planning documents.
1.2.1 NATIONAL CONTEXT
Alcohol consumption in Australia
In 2010 one in five Australians drank at levels that placed them at a life time risk of alcohol related disease or
injury. This equates to 3.7 million and compares unfavourably to 3.5 million at the same risk in 2007. 7
Of all licit and illicit drugs, alcohol is the most commonly consumed and the most widely accepted within Australian
society, with one in three identifying alcohol consumed in excess as the substance of most serious concern.8
Alcohol related harm in Australia
It is widely recognised that the harm caused by consumption of alcohol can be encapsulated within the following
three areas;
Harm from intoxication produces the biggest cost to society through the
Harm from intoxication
number of drinkers who may on a single occasion cause or become
victims of: sexual assault, domestic violence, assault, car accident,
accidental injury and drowning. This has costs not only for individuals, families and communities, but also places
pressure on police, emergency and health services.
Harm from excessive and regular

consumption
Harm from excessive and regular consumption occurs to people who

are not necessarily intoxicated but who are drinking at levels which
may compromise their health and general wellbeing. These people
contribute to the burden of illness.

Harm from dependence or addiction severely affects individuals and
their families, however, the number of dependant drinkers is relatively
small and the overall cost to society is also small compared to the
damage caused by intoxication and binge drinking. 9
Harm from dependence or addiction
In a ten year period (leading to 2004/5) 32,696 Australians died from high risk alcohol consumption and 813,072
episodes of hospitalisation occurred annually.10
It is reported that one Australian teenager dies and more than 60 are hospitalised each week from alcohol related
harm. Drinking contributes to the three leading causes of death among adolescents which are; unintentional injuries,
homicide and suicide.11
In 2008, 10 million Australians were adversely affected by someone elses alcohol consumption and each year the
statistics for harm to people resulting from someone elses drinking are:
367 deaths
14,000 people hospitalised
70,000 victims of alcohol related violence
24,000 victims of domestic violence
Almost 20,000 children are victims of substantiated alcohol related child abuse 12
The National Drug Strategy 2010-2015 indicates that heavy drinking leads to intergenerational patterns
of misuse and harm. 13
Page 5
Foetal Alcohol Spectrum Disorder

Foetal Alcohol Spectrum Disorder (FASD) describes a range of preventable birth defects and brain damage in
children caused by prenatal exposure to alcohol.
Between 0.06 and 0.68 per 1000 live births in the general Australian population have Foetal Alcohol Syndrome
(the most severe symptoms of the disorder); however, in the Indigenous population the rate is higher being between
2.76 and 4.7 per 1000 live births.14
Cost
The cost of alcohol misuse in Australia is calculated at being $36 billion each year.15
The National Alcohol Strategy 2006 - 2011
The National Alcohol Strategy, 2006 2011 is a plan for action developed through a broad consultative process.
It is consistent with the National Drug Strategy and supports all key areas of the National Drug Strategy Aboriginal
and Torres Strait Islander Peoples Complementary Action Plan 2003-2006. The strategy was endorsed by the
Ministerial Council on Drug Strategy for the period 2006-2009 and then reindorsed for 2006 2011. It outlines
four main aims:
1.
2.
3.
4.
Reduce the incidence of intoxication among drinkers

Enhance public safety and amenity at times and in places where alcohol is consumed
Improve health outcomes among individuals and communities affected by alcohol consumption
Facilitate safer and healthier drinking cultures by developing community understanding about the special
properties of alcohol, and through regulation of its availability
The strategy further outlines a fifth area that covers the importance of:
Coordinated and integrated

approaches
Data collection, monitoring and
evaluation
Developing partnerships and links
Providing strong leadership
Ref:16
The importance of these additional and underpinning components has been highlighted in other recent reports such
as;
The National Drug Strategy 2010-2015
Page 6
The National Drug Strategy 2010-2015, was endorsed by the Ministerial Council on Drug Strategy in 2011. It is a
framework for action on alcohol, tobacco and other drugs. Encompassing an over arching approach of harm
minimisation, the National Drug Strategy outlines three pillars or strategy areas, and a fourth area which
describes supporting approaches.
Supporting approaches: Building workforce capacity; evidence based and evidence informed practice;
innovation and evaluation; performance measurement; and building partnerships across sectors.
Ref:17
South Australian Alcohol and Other Drug Strategy 2011-2016
Developed by the South Australian Government (Drug and Alcohol Services South Australia) and published in
2011, this framework outlines objectives and actions of the South Australian Government to reduce the states rate
of alcohol and other drug harm to the lowest in Australia.
It sets out a number of values and priority populations including:
Ref:18
This important document allows close alignment with South Australian policy and will allow access to resources such
as emerging data collection and collation, and new drug and alcohol interventions.

1.2.2 ABORIGINAL CONTEXT

Aboriginal people and alcohol
Although Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples are more likely to abstain from alcohol than other
Australians19 those that do drink alcohol are more likely to binge drink and are also more likely to experience
disproportionately higher rates of alcohol attributed health and social problems compared to other Australians.20
Alcohol related deaths have been estimated at between five and nineteen times higher for Aboriginal people than
non-Aboriginal people in Qld, SA, WA, and the NT.21
The National Drug Strategy Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Peoples Complimentary Plan 2003-2009
The National Drug Strategy- Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Peoples Complimentary Action Plan 2003-2009,
points out that inquiries into Aboriginal peoples health have consistently recognised the detrimental effects of
dispossession and alienation on health and wellbeing. Loss and grief, and despair associated with dispossession
are contributing factors in the use of alcohol by some Aboriginal people. The plan outlines six key result areas.22
1.
2.
3.
4.
5.
6.
Enhance capacity of individuals, families and communities to address current and future issues in the use
of alcohol and promote their own health and well-being
Whole of government effort in collaboration with non government organisations to implement, evaluate
and improve comprehensive approaches to drug related harm
Substantially improved access to the appropriate range of health and well being services that play a
role in addressing alcohol issues
A range of holistic approaches from prevention through to treatment and continuing care that is locally
available and accessible
Workforce initiatives to enhance capacity of community controlled and mainstream organisations to
provide quality services
Increased ownership and sustainable partnerships in research, monitoring, evaluation and dissemination of
information
Minimum Standards for Alcohol Management Plans

Alcohol Management Plans in the Northern Territory, some of which have eventuated due to the Northern Territory
intervention (under the NT National Emergency Response Act 2007), have been strengthened under the new
Stronger Futures in the Northern Territory Act 2012. This Act has introduced seven Minimum Standards for Alcohol
Management Plans that cover:23
1.
2.
3.
4.
5.
6.
7.
Consultation and engagement

Realistic and measurable goals
Strategies that address supply reduction, demand reduction and harm reduction
Monitoring and reporting
Governance
Resources, roles and responsibilities
Geographical boundaries
Although these standards are not legislated in South Australia they are an important resource in relation to
development of alcohol management plans in general, and in particular when Indigenous populations are affected
by such plans. Appropriate review and application of the principals underpinning the minimum standards have
been adopted in the development of the Coober Pedy Alcohol Management Plan, 2013-2018.

1.2.3 LOCAL CONTEXT

District Council of Coober Pedy Strategic Plan 2013/14-2017/18
The District Council of Coober Pedys Strategic Plan was endorsed in March 2013. The Coober Pedy Alcohol
Management Plan has strategic links to this over arching community plan, particularly aligning with Goal 2 which
aims to improve the well being of the community, and Goal 4 which outlines actions to develop and foster
community leadership.
Roles and Responsibilities
District Council of Coober Pedy (DCCP)
The Coober Pedy District Council is often the first point of call in relation to many issues within the town, and over
the past eleven years has attempted a leadership role in relation to alcohol misuse and subsequent problems within
the community. Council staff, the Mayor and elected members have been intrinsically involved in; the development
of strategies, the support of direct service providers, liaison with the Coober Pedy Alcohol ACCORD Committee,
government departments that have responsibility in relation to alcohol legislation; and lobbying state and federal
governments for appropriate resources and funding.
The Council is the responsible body for the application and monitoring of a Dry Area regulation which has been in
place since 1996 and which was the first real measure implemented to address the problem of alcohol misuse and
offensive public behaviour in the town. This action resulted in pressure to respond to the issues in a more holistic
manner and has precipitated other appropriate strategies which are now in place.
The DCCP continues to be committed to leadership through the formation of a specific group, the Coober Pedy
Alcohol Management Plan, Working Party, and to the role of lead agency in relation to the implementation of the
Coober Pedy Alcohol Management Plan (CPAMP).
An essential requirement is for Council to take a high profile leadership role to successfully engage the community
and local, state, and federal stakeholders in collaborative responses.
An Alcohol Management Group: The Coober Pedy Alcohol Management Plan, Working Party
A locally based Alcohol Management Group was originally established in 2000, to provide local community
engagement into a higher level Alcohol Management Reference Group. The Alcohol Management Reference
Group based in metropolitan Adelaide, was charged with coordination and resourcing the Coober Pedy Alcohol
Strategy -2000 but soon devolved due to a change in government and policy, leaving the locally based committee
to function in isolation.
Following this occurrence, effective functioning of an Alcohol Management Group fluctuated over the years.
Another specific group set up in 2006 at the direction of the Office of the Liquor Licensing and Gambling
Commissioner (OLLGC), encompassed a range of government agencies both local and non local and this group
eventually amalgamated with an early version of the Coober Pedy Senior Officers Group (SOG), hence SOG was
sanctioned by the OLLGC to be responsible for monitoring and coordinating any alcohol management plan
endorsed by DCCP.
It is important that any group acting in this capacity has a combination of members that ensures inclusive community
representation, combined with adequate representation from government agencies that have the ability to
advocate for and access appropriate resources. 24
In March 2014 the District Council of Coober Pedy determined to establish a new Coober Pedy Alcohol
Management Plan Working Party (CPAMP: WP) to effect a coordinated and focussed approach to the
implementation of the CPAMP. The Council will auspice and support this Working Party and it is vital to the success
of the Coober Pedy Alcohol Management Plan, 2013-2018 that a viable and strong group be maintained to work
to the plan and coordinate the efforts of the wide range of service agencies linked to the plan.
It is also essential that members and agency leaders within this Working Party work collaboratively to be effective,
and to provide accountability to all sections of the community.

Antakirinja Matu-Yankunytjatjara Aboriginal Corporation (AMYAC)

The Antakirinja Matu-Yankunytjatjara people were recognised as native title holders over 78,672 sq km of land
and waters in the north west of South Australia in a special sitting of the Federal Court in Coober Pedy in May
2011.25
The current Chairperson and members of the Corporation are committed to improved health and socio-economic
outcomes for their people and have contributed to the development of the CPAMP. They perceive the issue of
alcohol misuse as a major determinate of health and well-being for Aboriginal people and are particularly
committed to a reduction in supply of alcohol to visitors from the APY Lands were alcohol is completely prohibited
by law and by choice.
While it is recognised that Umoona Community Council and other Aboriginal agencies have leadership
responsibilities, AMYAC has agreed to undertake critical broad leadership in relation to the CPAMP, and to work
in partnership with the whole community to affect the outcomes of the CPAMP.
1.2.4 THE COOBER PEDY ALCOHOL STRATEGY- 2000
The Coober Pedy Alcohol Strategy - 2000 was developed by the state Attorney Generals Department - Crime
Prevention Unit between 1999 and 2000. The document contains 39 recommendations some of which have been
implemented with others remaining outstanding over the 12 years since recommendation. Various attempts to
attract full funding from state government to review the strategy has been unsuccessful; and until January 2013
when the DCCP raised funding from a variety of state, federal, local agencies, and a private organisation, the
document had never been formally reviewed or evaluated.
1.2.5 COOBER PEDY ALCOHOL STRATEGY AND DRY AREA REGULATION REVIEW- 2013
An evaluation of the Coober Pedy Alcohol Strategy - 2000 was commissioned by the DCCP in January 2013.
This evaluation project had four main elements.
To evaluate the Coober Pedy Alcohol Strategy - 2000,
To review the current Coober Pedy Dry Area regulation and its impact on the community
To make appropriate recommendations in relation to both the above points, and
To produce a current Coober Pedy Alcohol Management Plan, 2013-2018
A mixed method evaluation was conducted over a six month period between February and July 2013 and the
methodology and outcomes have been documented in a report entitled A Dry Change Coober Pedy Alcohol
Strategy and Dry Area Review, 2013.26
Consultation Framework
The consultation framework included:
Structured interviews with government and non government agencies
Structured questionnaires/surveys for specific groups including,
Coober Pedy Alcohol Accord Committee members
Youth
Businesses
Older members of the community through the Multi Cultural Forum
Community survey of 200 randomly selected residents
Focus groups with,
Aboriginal men and women
Aboriginal Elders
Vulnerable women
Community members

Quantitative Data
Quantitative data was collected from:
SAPOL
SA Ambulance Service
Housing SA
Coober Pedy Hospital & Community Health Service
Umoona Tjutagku Health Service Aboriginal Corporation
Umoona Community Council Aboriginal Corporation
SA Courts Administration
The quantitative and qualitative data garnered during this process has been used to determine strategies,
objectives and actions within the Coober Pedy Alcohol Management Plan 2013 - 2018.
1.2.6 SOME RELEVANT LOCAL QUANTITATIVE DATA
Safety Factors
A random Community Survey conducted in Coober Pedy in May 2013 indicates 76% of the respondents feel
generally less safe now than they did three years ago. 68% indicate increased numbers of people consuming
alcohol in the streets around their residence, and 84% indicate they feel less safe in their home now than they did
three years ago.
Client attendances in Harm Minimisation and Drug and Alcohol Programs
The number of clients accessing Drug and Alcohol Rehabilitation Programs offered by Umoona Tjutagku Health
Service (UTHS) has been steadily increasing since 2009-2010, with 3,560 persons accessing the range of these
services in 2011-2012.
In 2011-2012 the number of local clients accessing UTHS D&A Program was significantly higher than transitory
clients.
Source: UTHS May 2013.
Page 11
The number of clients accessing the Mobile Assistance Patrol (MAP) has steadily increased since 2005 and in 20112012 reached 7,601 episodes. However Sobering up Unit (SUU) client numbers have fallen.
The primary place of residence for clients admitted to the SUU in 2012 shows a significant number are from the
APY Lands and other places. I.e. 6% are local, 12.5% come from other places and 81.5% come from the APY
Lands. (Place of residence for MAP clients is not available)

Relevant Crime Statistics

Public Order Offences in Coober Pedy have trended slowly upwards (not withstanding a fall in 2012) while the
percentage of those affected by alcohol prior to committing offences has remained steady.
The percentage of assaults where alcohol is a factor is relatively high being between 72.5% and 73.6% over the
five year period.

Change, Coober Pedy Alcohol Strategy and Dry Area Review 2013.
Page 13
1.2.7 SOME LOCAL ISSUES AND DISCUSSION POINTS

Public drinking and anti social behaviour: Public drinking and extreme anti social behaviour continues in the Dry Area
and public places within the town. A large majority of the community believe the Dry Area regulation is currently
ineffective and that some local and transitory people are drinking wherever they feel like doing so. Anti social
behaviour negatively impacts on the amenity and safety of public spaces within a community and in particular provides
negative role modelling for children.
The problem in Coober Pedy is not one of public drunkenness only, and to ensure the provision of protective and
preventative measures for the whole community, the plan includes community development approaches and interventions
across a wide spectrum of situations.
Transitory population: The community reports an increase in visitors from the APY Lands and various other communities,
who appear to stay for longer periods and may come specifically to drink alcohol. This increase has been identified
over the past three to five years as alcohol restrictions and dry areas have increased in communities around Coober
Pedy. The visiting people are not just from South Australia and the APY Lands but from further afield in the Northern
Territory and Western Australia.
Comparative data from 2008 and 2012 identifies an increase of Aboriginal people from the APY Lands using the
Sobering up Unit (SUU). There is currently no quantitative data to support the empirical evidence that more people are
coming from further afield. The increase in visiting individuals and families places additional stress on some local
Aboriginal families who feel obligated to respond to demands for support; and an increase in demand for health and
social services in the town.
Public safety and family violence: Recent public violence, attacks on individuals and property has alarmed the entire
community and increased the community demand for effective solutions. There is a high level of concern for the safety
of children in the public domain and also in family situations. SAPOL data supports a steady increase in public order
offences and assaults both in public areas and in private residences, over a five year period from 2008-2012.
However, there is no spike in offences in 2012. Empirical evidence supports a significant increase in these offences over
the past six months but this period is not yet displayed in any quantitative data.
Supply of alcohol: The community collectively agrees that the current alcohol restrictions are not working. They also feel
that current alcohol legislation is not being enforced consistently within the town. The consideration of further restriction
on the supply of alcohol is a priority for all sections of the community.
The APY Lands are dry by regulation and by choice. A ready supply of take away alcohol within Coober Pedy
attracts people from this area who are affected by alcohol dependence, and also provides plentiful opportunities for
the purchase of alcohol intended for illegal sale in the APY Lands. This effectively undermines the premise of the
prohibition of alcohol to Anangu people who reside in the APY Lands. Recent consultation in Coober Pedy by the Liquor
Licensing Commissioner has been welcomed by both the Aboriginal and non- Aboriginal community, and any
application of further alcohol restrictions is dependent on his deliberation.
Gaps or problems with service provision: Respondents report the principal problem with service provision is the lack
of collaborative engagement and systemic approaches that could provide more effective use of current resources.
In particular shared protocols that enhance opportunities for affected persons to access a wide range of harm
minimisation, drug and alcohol treatment options and culturally appropriate health services, are important in
preventing escalating chronic health problems and mortality in Aboriginal people affected by alcohol dependence.27
There are also some gaps in drug and alcohol and harm minimisation services and resources that can be addressed.
Loss of Community and Social Capital: A decline in the network of social connectiveness and shared values and norms
appears to be generated by a number of factors including; loss of cultural capacity, decline in population,
Page 14
generational issues, problematic recruitment and retention within agencies, economic downturn, a new transient
mining workforce and an ageing population.
Ref: 28

Improved cooperation and collaboration between local agencies, integrated Drug and Alcohol and/or
harm minimisation services; improved client referral pathways between services
Improved role modelling for children
Enhanced positive cultural experiences for Aboriginal children
Improved bail considerations
Consideration to changed financial arrangements for affected persons Income Management and funeral
benefits
Improved consultation processes
Enhanced prevention, health promotion and early intervention programs
Increased opportunities for employment, creative arts and sporting programs/events
1.2.9 BROADER ISSUES NOT WITHIN THE CAPACITY OF THE COOBER PEDY ALCOHOL MANAGEMENT PLAN
The District Council of Coober Pedy and the Working Party acknowledge that a number of issues were raised by
the community during the consultation process, that fall outside the current capacity of the Coober Pedy Alcohol
Management Plan. None the less these issues are important to a definitive response to alcohol misuse and are
highlighted here for action by other plans or processes.
Family violence: Family violence is a national and international problem and Coober Pedy has similar issues to many
locations across Australia. Links between interpersonal violence and alcohol are well established with the World Health
Organisation outlining that alcohol and interpersonal violence act as a catalyst for each other.29 Data from SAPOL
indicates that interpersonal assaults where the victim and perpetrator are related have risen steadily over the past five
years but assaults among unrelated persons have risen faster.
Of further disquiet, is that sexual assault on women in Coober Pedy is reported by the community as a concern, with
some sexual assaults going unreported, particularly within the Aboriginal community. 30
Those agencies delivering Family Violence services could review their programs to ensure they are providing a range of
options and culturally effective programs to support all victims through the reporting phase and the justice system.
Early intervention and health promotion programs could also be considered in an endeavour to raise the community
understanding of this covert violence against women.
Illicit drugs: The increasing use of other drugs besides alcohol is affecting all levels of society and Youth Workers and
many sectors of the Coober Pedy community raised this issue as a concern particularly for youth. Monitoring of this
problem within the youth sector and reporting through to the Senior Officers Group may be beneficial.
Page 15
Youth safety and youth services: Binge drinking among young people is addressed within the Coober Pedy Alcohol
Management Plan by enhancing health promotion programs particularly to school aged children 31 and the introduction
of responsible drinking programs, however, this issue could also be addressed within the Youth Network and
throughout all Youth Programs run within the town.
The safety of children is a concern for the community and this issue needs to be addressed within the context of
mandated reporting and with the specialised services tasked with this responsibility. Outreach models that adopt a
harm minimisation approach are available for consideration by Families SA and this may be an area of work that
should be considered.32
Suicide prevention: Aboriginal women in one focus group raised the issue of suicide prevention within the Aboriginal
community. Some adult Aboriginal men when voicing their despair, and often under the influence of drugs or alcohol,
discuss suicide as an escape. Aboriginal women, particularly mothers of such men are concerned that there is no easily
accessible local service to approach for support and advice concerning this problem if it occurs within a family. The
national statistics on suicide identifies that Indigenous males in the age group 25-29 years are four times more likely to
commit suicide than non Indigenous males of the same age.33
It would be beneficial for mental health services and drug and alcohol services to consider a culturally appropriate and
locally accessible service that could respond to this issue. Review of the National Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander
Suicide Prevention Strategy, May 2013, can provide a current framework.
Public transport in Coober Pedy: There is no public transport service within Coober Pedy which limits options for persons
who may be seeking safe forms of transport after drinking in licensed premises or other venues. It is also a limiting
factor in terms of the general community and access to business, social and cultural activities.
It is recognised that some clubs and licensed venues do provide transport for their own clients following closure of
venues on some nights.
While the Working Party supports advocacy for a public transport system of some sort, it believes this falls outside the
current scope of the CPAMP.

1.3 STRATEGIC AREAS AND KEY INITIATIVES

The locally identified issues and commonly articulated elements emerging from the consultation phase have
populated the Coober Pedy Alcohol Management Plan which is comprised of four strategic areas and eighteen key
initiatives:
Strategic Area One : Stronger Leadership and Collaboration
A requirement to strengthen leadership and collaboration between all levels of government and local agencies to
ensure a strategic and sustainable approach is taken to the management and monitoring of alcohol misuse and
subsequent interventions.
Key Initiatives
1.1 Leadership by DCCP
1.2 Coordination through the CPAMP:WP
1.3 Aboriginal community leadership through AMYAC
1.4 Interagency collaboration
1.5 Monitoring and evaluation processes
1.6 Communication and consultation processes
1.7 Stronger response efficacy from State & Federal
Government
Strategic Area Two: Supply Reduction and Management
Develop and facilitate actions to further restrict the supply of alcohol to affected persons and strengthen
monitoring and enforcement of alcohol legislation/regulations.
Key Initiatives
2.1 Reduce the supply of alcohol and improve support to affected

persons
2.2 Strengthen the Coober Pedy Alcohol Accord
2.3 Continue Coober Pedy Dry Area regulation
2.4 Enforce the Aboriginal Lands Trust Act - Umoona Community,
2007, legislation
Strategic Area Three: Harm Minimisation

Enhance the safety of the community and the amenity of the public spaces in the town.
Key Initiatives
3.1 Strengthen crime prevention through environmental design and

enhanced security
3.2 Improve crisis accommodation, and harm minimisation
service options
Strategic Area Four : Demand Reduction and Management

services.
Key Initiatives
4.1 Provide client focused and improved treatment services
4.2 Develop system based approaches to D&A services
4.3 Increase Court Ordered Intervention
4.4 Investigate Income Management Pilot
4.5 Expand Health Promotion & Early Intervention Programs
Page 17
The second section of this document outlines the more detailed Coober Pedy Alcohol Management Plan (CPAMP)
which assigns actions, timelines, responsibilities and measurements to the Key Initiatives.
1.4 KEY OUTCOME INDICATORS AND TARGETS

Key Outcome Indicators or targets are an effective way to ensure identification of changes that may occur as a
result of implementation of the Alcohol Management Plan and enables measurement of the overall success of the
plan.
Key Outcome Indicators and targets that will assist with measuring progress and provide information on the success
or otherwise of the plan are:
reduction in the volume of takeaway sales of pure alcohol (litres) (OLLGC- to be determined)
reduction in the number of alcohol related emergency department presentations (CHSA-to be determined)
reduction in the number of ambulance call outs related to alcohol intoxication (SA Ambulance Service- to
be determined)
reduction in the number of alcohol related assaults (SAPOL)
reduction in the number of public order offences where alcohol is a factor (SAPOL)
reduction in the drink driving apprehension rate (SAPOL - to be determined)
reduction in the number of barring orders (Licensed Venues and SAPOL - to be determined)
reduction in the truancy level within the school (DECD- to be determined)
34
Ref: and 35
Consideration of these Key Outcome Indicators will be undertaken during the development of an effective data
set.
The data set will outline the indicator, the source, the required frequency of collation and analysis of the Key
Outcome Indicators and other identified data required.
It is vital that a data set is constructed as urgently as practical to ensure baseline information is assembled to allow
measurement of changes driven by impending alcohol restrictions that may be applied by the Liquor Licensing
Commissioner, or other initiatives within the Coober Pedy Alcohol Management Plan.
