    Proposed changes are to accommodate new ranges at Robertson Barracks.

    The issue

    This proposal notes the following key issues:

    • the Danger Area around Robertson Barracks, D214, is no longer fit-for-purpose
    • the Australian Army propose a small southern expansion to the Danger Area
    • there are no changes to vertical limits, hours of activity, or Danger Area contact.

    Purpose

    To provide relevant stakeholders with information regarding a proposed change to YBBB/D214 Robertson Barracks danger area lateral limits.

    The Australian Army propose an amendment to the lateral limits of the YBBB/D214 Robertson Barracks danger area to meet the safety requirements of new live fire range infrastructure. The amendment will ensure that the Danger Area safely encompasses the following facilities:

    • Small Teams Training Facility, used for non-lethal training ammunition, shotgun and explosive breaching
    • Forward Arming and Refuelling Point and associated ammunition storage point, and
    • The Mask Test Facility for gas exposure testing. The changes extend the southern limit by approximately 650 metres, as depicted in Figure 1.

    The amended dimensions are as follows:
