which took place in May 2019. The matter has now returned to council and will be discussed at the meeting on Wednesday, August 4.

The club currently has approval for use of the site as a clay target shooting range with a condition limiting its use to a maximum of 12 shoot days in any one calendar year, with not less

than 20 days between any event.

The club is asking for the opportunity to undertake an additional 12 shoot days per year for the purpose of safety and training, with the ability to also hold a state shoot event.

If approved, the modified consent would allow for a maximum of 24 shooting days per year on Sundays at the site.

The club detailed it would restrict the hours of the additional shooting days to between 10am and 5pm, on the second Sunday of every month.

modify its development consent back in June 2017 but was refused at that time.

Council officers said they have assessed the information provided, including additional information regarding potential contamination issues which have been addressed by the applicant, and

are satisfied that an additional 12 shoot days for training and safety would not adversely impact on the environment and that suitable mitigation measures can be included in a modified

consent to ensure impacts on amenity and contamination can be adequately monitored and controlled.
