EMA managing director Hayden Romano has said there needs to be clearer legislation about where and when fireworks can be used, as well as a move to noiseless fireworks.
He is calling on government to consider these recommendations in 2021.
Romano said he hoped that since all celebrations this year have been low-key, the same could happen for the new year. But he said he had noted media reports of increased sales of fireworks. He added, however, “We are using our social media to educate people on the effect of noise, especially on older people, babies and children, and animals.
