Enter New Year Safely: Message from the City

As we count down to the start of a new year, the city's enforcement services are gearing up to ensure that celebrations are safe and enjoyable for everyone.

"Celebrate responsibly, with due regard for your own safety and that of those around you." – MMC for Safety and Security JP Smith


Please be aware that:

- You can be fined for setting off fireworks without a permit, selling them to minors, or letting children handle them without adult supervision.

- Fireworks are prohibited within 200 meters of hospitals, clinics, petrol stations, old-age homes, nursing homes, or animal welfare organizations.

- Don't set off fireworks inside buildings, on public streets, or in public places without permission.

Smith says their staff will be going the extra mile to ensure safety across the city.

“I want to encourage the public to work with enforcement staff so we can all ring in the New Year with fanfare." He added.
