Fireworks display regulations in Australia
No federal display law: each state or territory licenses its pyrotechnicians and receives display notifications (SafeWork NSW, WorkSafe Victoria, Resources Safety & Health Queensland, WorkSafe WA), with 7 to 14 days' notice and exclusion zones by shell size.
Australia has no federal law on fireworks displays. Each state applies its own explosives or dangerous goods legislation: the Explosives Act 2003 and Explosives Regulation 2013 in New South Wales (SafeWork NSW), the Dangerous Goods Act 1985 and Dangerous Goods (Explosives) Regulations 2022 in Victoria (WorkSafe Victoria), the Explosives Act 1999 and Explosives Regulation 2017 in Queensland (Explosives Inspectorate, Resources Safety & Health Queensland), the Dangerous Goods Safety Act 2004 and Dangerous Goods Safety (Explosives) Regulations 2007 in Western Australia (Dangerous Goods Safety Branch, WorkSafe WA).
