Step 11
Get permission for fireworks or pyrotechnics, if required
At least 2 months before the event.
If you are setting off fireworks for your event you will need to provide us with:
- a copy of your operator’s licence
- the notification to discharge fireworks that was lodged with Worksafe
- a copy of the operator's Public Liability insurance certificate of currency.
Setting off fireworks is illegal in Victoria unless the operator holds a Licence to Use Fireworks as a Pyrotechnician. These licenses are issued by WorkSafe.
For more information, see guidance on using fireworks from WorkSafe, or call 1800 136 089.
If permission is granted by us, a fee will be charged.
