Alcohol purchases in Wyndham and Kununurra will be cut to one carton of full-strength beer, three bottles of wine or a bottle of spirits per day, in an effort to curb alcohol-related violence.

Danielle Hart, Managing Director of the Kimberley Accommodation Group, which runs a bottle shop in Kununurra, said the restrictions would deter tourists from visiting the East Kimberley.
