SSAA Darwin Range Closure – 28th September to 16th October

Mon, 28 Sep 2026 05:54:14 GMT

Many years of shooting on the Ranges has degraded much of the ground level Target frame dirt and steelwork to a stage that repair work has become urgently essential.

Some ranges have deteriorated to a level that is now having an impact upon regular club shooting activities.

Commencing Monday 28th September for 3 weeks until Friday 16th October all the ranges will be TOTALLY closed for the civil and steelworks repairs required to complete this project.

It is further planned for Saturdays and Sundays 3rd, 4th, 10th & 11th October that the ranges be fully open from 0700 to 1900 each day to allow for club shoots and casual shooting activities.

The opening of the ranges during this period will obviously depend on how the repair work progresses. Membership messages and sign notifications at the club will be issued to notify of any changes.
