Fireworks

​The Northern Territory remains the only jurisdiction in Australia where it is legal for members of the public to purchase and use fireworks. However the approved period to purchase and use fireworks is restricted to 1 July of each year.

Fireworks are classified as are Dangerous Good and are regulated under the Dangerous Goods Act. It is an offence to have possession or to use fireworks outside of the approved period.

The following bulletins have been developed to provide information for businesses and end users of fireworks.
