<p>The Government's intention has always been to minimise any negative impact of fireworks and we support their considerate use, reducing the risks and disturbances to individuals, animals, and property.</p><p> </p><p>To achieve this, a comprehensive regulatory framework exists for fireworks. Enforcement mechanisms are in place to tackle situations when fireworks are misused and penalties for fireworks-related offences can include imprisonment or an unlimited fine.</p><p> </p><p>The Government continues to monitor the situation and engage with stakeholders to listen to and understand their views on a range of issues. However, we have no plans to introduce firework control zones at this time.</p> |
