Fireworks

 

Fireworks can be carried on public buses provided it is done so in a responsible manner. It is generally accepted that a person who is eligible to purchase fireworks (18 years of age and over) can carry the fireworks on buses from the place of purchase to their home or to a suitable venue to ignite the fireworks at the prescribed time. The carriage of commercial quantities of fireworks on buses is not permitted.

Fireworks are generally sold in sealed packaging and should only be carried on buses in the original shop goods packaging. Should it be necessary to divide the fireworks into smaller quantities than originally sold; the fireworks should be repackaged and sealed in a similar manner as when originally purchased before carrying on to a bus. Individual fireworks should not be carried on buses as the risk of ignition is increased.

Any person who attempts to or misuses fireworks in or around a bus, Bus Interchange or bus stop will be referred to the NT Police and or NT WorkSafe. Policy Statement
