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.

Will your event include fireworks?

  • If yes, ensure your operator has permissions from Worksafe and send us the relevant documentation. Then go to Step 12.
  • If no, go to the next Step 12.
