GUY FAWKES Saturday 5th November 2016
There are 2 public displays in Auckland this year.
1) The Trusts Arena, 65-67 Central Park, Henderson, 5 Nov, 5.30pm-11.00pm Family tickets $50
2) Orewa Reserve, Orewa 5.30pm Free entry
Aucklanders wanting to celebrate Guy Fawkes by setting off fireworks on November 5 (or any other day) must stay on their own property.
The Public Safety and Nuisance Bylaw 2103 dictates that
- a person must not set off any fireworks in a public place.
- set off fireworks in any place that creates a nuisance or endanger any person, property, dog or other animal in a public place. (public place is for example beaches, parks, roads, footpaths) Your home appears not to be a public place but you can take a walk to the footpath outside your house if you want to make a point.
Auckland Council have advised that any complaints can be made to (09) 301-0101.
It is suggested that 'Noise Control' will be ineffective as the noise would be of an intermittent nature unless it is accompanied by other noise from same source at an elevated level. The contact for Noise Control is the same number (09) 301-0101.
Police can be involved if under Section 196 of the Crimes Act 1961 in that “a person must not with reckless disregard for the safety of others .. send or deliver to any person, or puts in any place, any explosive or injurious substance or device” This would be if fireworks were landing on your property.
FINALLY STAY SAFE AND RESPECT THE SAFETY AND COMFORT OF OTHERS.
