❌ 1. Never light fireworks in dry or windy conditions.
🔥 2. Only use fireworks in wide open areas, away from flammable items such as trees, grasses, gas tanks, and wood.
💦 3. Keep a bucket of water or hose nearby.
👧 4. Children should never light fireworks themselves and need to be supervised closely at all times.
🧰 5. Keep all unlit fireworks in a secure bag or container away from any source of fire until they are ready to be used.
📞 6. Be considerate and let neighbours know if you're planning to set off fireworks. Aim to finish at a reasonable time.
🐱 7. Keep pets comfortable and secure inside. The loud booms and flashing lights can easily scare them off.
🐮 8. Avoid lighting off fireworks around farm animals and be aware of any newborns or elderly neighbours who may also be affected. If possible, change locations to somewhere that minimises any disturbances.
🌿 9. Be a tidy Kiwi and let's work together to keep New Zealand beautiful! Clean up any any rubbish and leave your spot better than you found it.

The council is also calling for central Government to introduce more regulations. What are your thoughts on e-scooters? Should they be allowed on footpaths? Do we need more safety regulations?

You can say THANK YOU in your own special way, like Paul.
Grateful Auckland DHB stroke patient Paul Harvey chooses to fundraise for Auckland City Hospital’s stroke rehabilitation ward to help future patients receive the best possible care, and thank the dedicated team that gave him back his independence.
Paul was determined to turn his stroke into something positive: “I’ve found my cause, and I intend to keep working to help those who were vital in my recovery.”
If you’ve received amazing care through Auckland DHB and want to say ‘thank you’, you can donate, share your story or fundraise, like Paul.
Paul works with the Auckland Health Foundation, the official charity for Auckland DHB’s adult health services, to make his fundraising goals a reality – and make a difference. And you can too.
Donate now or be inspired by Paul to say ‘thank you’ in your own special way here.
