Limit the use of fireworks to the main day of traditional celebrations only!
Limit the use of fireworks to November 5th, New years Eve and the main day of Chinese new year and Diwali only. Limit the sales period to 2 weeks before these events from licenced sellers. To licensed buyers, for council organised public events at large licensed venues.
Every year, countless pets & wildlife are terrified or injured, people with PTSD or sensory sensitivities suffer panic & anxiety. Emergency services face a rise in callouts for fires & injuries; many involving children. Loud, fireworks can reach noise levels over 150 decibels, similar to a jet engine and release harmful chemicals into the air. By limiting fireworks we can still enjoy traditional celebrations while protecting animals, vulnerable people & our communities from unnecessary harm.
