It is very important to note that Council has NOT approved any location for the discharging of fireworks – the setting off of any firework is thus illegal. No person may ever light, ignite or detonate fireworks in any place where animals are present. No person under the age of 16 may purchase fireworks from any retailer or be in the possession of any firework. Any person who wishes to present a fireworks display must apply to the Chief Fire Officer for written authorisation.
