Currently, Auckland Council can regulate only fireworks being set off on public property.
In 2015 the National-led government received a petition signed by about 32,000 people calling for a ban, stating fireworks caused "unnecessary distress and injury" to people, animals and livestock.
The petition said firework seasons, such as Guy Fawkes and New Year's Eve, put huge pressure on emergency services through unnecessary fires, property damage and injuries.
However, the proposal, which was supported by the SPCA, SAFE and the NZ Veterinarians Association was rejected.
There were 516 fireworks-related injury claims in New Zealand in 2016.
