Fireworks display notification

Outdoor fireworks are only allowed for public community events. They are not permitted for private events like weddings or parties.

If you want to hold a fireworks display, you will need to follow the guidelines set by SafeWork NSW, and advise Council at least five working days in advance.

Council can apply conditions to your fireworks display, or even object to it going ahead.

To advise Council about fireworks, you will need to submit the following via our online customer portal:

  • A copy of your Public Liability Insurance for $20 million
  • Details about the event
  • A copy of SafeWork NSW Notification / Approval of Pyrotechnic Display.

Council only receive applications for fireworks displays if less than 7 working days notice is provided to SafeWork NSW
