18/10/22 Shooting Silhouette Swingers

The shooting of Steel Silhouette swingers is no longer permitted from the concrete benches, all shooting of the fixed steel targets/swingers is to occur from the Standing Post Area only. 

This action has been taken to prevent conflict of scheduled matches occurring on the silhouette range and to eliminate any chance of non-compliance (angle limitations and cross-firing). We have expanded capacity on non-competition days to shoot the fixed steel targets from the PORTABLE benches in the Standing Post Area and allow a more consistent approach for utilization of this area.

Update: Temporary noise restrictions

It has been 12 months since we introduced the ‘temporary rifle restrictions’ to help manage our noise emissions. To date, this appears to have reduced the number of complaints relating to noise, however, we are aware that another club on the site is being monitored for excessive noise and complaints received by Brisbane City Council. We have trialled various suggested methods of noise dampening with little to no success at our designated testing location. We are hopeful that the new noise testing being scheduled now will provide us with new information that may allow us to ease restrictions on the types of firearms permitted on the rifle range

Queensland restrictions at 80% double-dose vaccination

The Premier announced today that the strict conditions implemented for the recently impacted Local Government Areas (LGAs) will be lifted at 4pm Friday 20th August 2021, which is earlier than previously advised.  So what does this mean for SSAA Brisbane branch operations?  Many people have made alternate arrangements for this weekend as the range was closed during the No Community Sport Restrictions, and it is difficult to recall the required staff and range officers needed to open this weekend. Therefore PRACTICE ON ALL RANGES WILL REMAIN CLOSED FOR THE WEEKEND

For more information for activities at the SSAA Brisbane branch this weekend CLICK HERE Please check the website for booking competitions and practice for the week commencing 23rd August, 2021.

10/08/2021

We have received further advice from the Belmont Shooting Complex Site Manager and Department of Sport and Recreation in relation to restrictions involving Community Sport from 9^th August to 22^nd August 2021.  The intent was to return to Stage 1 of May 2020.  Whilst 10 maximum in total may attend, including staff and range officers, it is unlikely this is viable (financially) or fair (unable to cater for demand).  Many State Sporting Organisations are strongly encouraging people not to attend for any form of practice or training at their venues.  

THE RANGE WILL BE CLOSED TO ALL COMPETITIONS AND PRACTICE FROM 9^TH AUGUST TO 22^ND AUGUST 2021.  The office will be open for member services Monday to Friday 9.00am – 4.00pm.
