Following the death of an antelope on Guy Fawkes Day last year, a city councillor is pushing for a 2 kilometre firework exclusion zone near Wellington Zoo.
The nyala’s death was attributed to “high levels of stress” from fireworks, causing it to run into a fence.
A scrub fire in the surrounding Newtown suburb was also blamed on fireworks being let off from homes.
Wellington City councillor Fleur Fitzsimons said the proposed ban was a matter of safety and wellbeing.
