RBT Means You Need a Plan B

Published on 14 December 2020

The Plan B – WIN A SWAG campaign kicked off in the Snowy Valleys area last Wednesday 9th December with more than seven licensed venues agreeing to host the program this year.

Plan B is a road safety initiative between the Snowy Valleys Council, Transport for NSW and the NSW Police and aims at reducing alcohol related crashes on our roads.

The venues participating across the Snowy Valleys are the Tumbarumba Hotel; Union Hotel, Tumbarumba; the Bowling Club; Tumbarumba; Jingellic Bridge Hotel; Tooma Inn; Khancoban Alpine Inn; the Batlow RSL Club; and the Talbingo Country Club.

Snowy Valleys Councillor Bruce Wright said the facts surrounding alcohol-related crashes are alarming and congratulated local venues for participating in the Plan B promotion.

“Plan B is a great initiative, the main message we are trying to get across is, if you are drinking, don’t drive. Plan your night out, plan how you are going to get home after a night out. If you drink and drive you will face the consequences,” Cr Wright said.

Plan B aims to raise discussion among the community and encourages patrons to responsibly plan ahead for making for their way home after consuming alcohol at venues.

Taking a humorous and positive approach Plan B is designed to engage the community about making alternative arrangements to get home after a night out.

The Plan B – WIN A SWAG promotion encourages patrons to write their Plan B on an entry form to go in the draw to win a Swag.

The campaign also emphasises that police mobile random breath testing (RBT) operations can happen anytime, anywhere.

Snowy Valleys Council has participated in the Plan B - Win a Swag promotion since 2015.
