💥 Support Retail Fireworks
Keeping responsible fireworks traditions alive in New Zealand
Retail fireworks have been part of New Zealand celebrations for generations — including Guy Fawkes, Diwali, New Year’s Eve, birthdays, and private events.
This page is about supporting the continued responsible use and availability of retail fireworks, and providing a place for people to share their views.
Why this matters
In recent years, there has been increasing discussion around restricting or banning public access to fireworks in New Zealand.
While safety concerns are important and valid, I believe the solution should focus on:
- Education on safe and responsible use
- Stronger enforcement against misuse
- Encouraging respect for neighbours, animals, and property
- Better public awareness around fire risk and timing
The majority of fireworks users are responsible, and use them safely for celebrations.
My position
As the owner of MeanBlast Fireworks, I support:
✔ Continued access to retail fireworks for responsible adults
✔ Strong safety education and guidelines
✔ Cultural and seasonal celebrations involving fireworks
✔ Practical regulation instead of full restriction
I understand concerns about noise, pets, and fire risk — and I support efforts to reduce misuse and improve public safety.
Why people support retail fireworks
Many New Zealanders enjoy fireworks because they:
- Create memorable family celebrations
- Are part of cultural traditions
- Allow private at-home celebrations
- Are used responsibly by the majority of buyers
- Bring communities together during special occasions
Fireworks are not just products — they are part of how many people celebrate important moments.
