NSW Police Force Strategic Plan for Firearm Ranges

Extreme & Hard to Locate Sports

In summary, the project involved:

• A review and assessment of the current facilities
• Development of a strategic plan for firearm ranges
• An assessment of operational requirements
• Recommendations on how to best meet the future requirements
• Examinations of options for build-up of facilities, including cost estimates, and
  a risk analysis

The project was developed using a five stage methodology. It was conducted in close consultation with key stakeholders from the NSWPF and their agents.

The NSW Police Firearm Ranges Strategy has identified the need for fit-for-purpose, contemporary, accessible and NSWPF controlled firearms and DEFTAC training facilities. These training facilities need to be strategically located throughout metropolitan and non-metropolitan NSWPF regions of NSW. The design has considered important factors such as lifecycle cost and ecologically sustainable development.
