Fire WorksLast modified: June 29, 2009 - 11:26 AM
A Pyrotechnician's or fireworks (single use) licence must be issued by WorkCover by way of the Explosives Regulation 2005. The Regulation requires that as a condition of each pryotechnician's licence and fireworks (single use) licence issued, that the licensee must notify WorkCover and the local council of an intention to use any fireworks, distress signal or model rocket propellant device at least 7 working days before the fireworks, signal or device is to be used.
When fireworks are part of an event such as an "Annual Show" or "New Years Eve" celebrations, Council has the right to put conditions on the applicants use of fireworks. There has been guidelines developed to provide councils with a standard framework when deciding whether to make an objection to WorkCover in regard to a firework display of which council has received notification.
While notice must be given to councils of an intention to use any firework, councils have no power to approve the use of firework. However, councils may object to or impose conditions on an applicant's use of fireworks. Please refer to the attached document titled "Guidelines for Council when Notification of an Intention to Use Fireworks is Received" for a detail description of issues that council may take into consideration when deciding whether to object to or impose conditions on a display.
