    Certification of a private range

    Many on here know that several years ago I hung up some targets in a disused part of my property so that my daughter could practice her lever action skills for CAS. In the beginning it looked like this:

    The range then became a labour of love for me and I built a covered in shed for her to shoot from and after much blood sweat and tears it looked like this:

    That was up until the end of August when a major weather event caused the hillside to come sliding into the range. I am now almost finished clearing out the slip and completing a major retaining wall project having made the range a little wider in the process. I will post updated photos when the job is done.

    So now to the purpose of this thread. Even though this is very much a private use range, with the recent legislative changes I am inclined to have it Police certified but I can’t for the life of me find anything useful on the Police website by way of an application form so am a bit befuddled as to the process.

    Does anyone on here know:
    1. The clauses in the legislation that are relative to range certification?
    2. Whether there is a Police form relative to application for certification and if so what the form number is?
    3. In the absence of a Police form, what process I should follow?

    Any assistance given would be greatly appreciated.

    What more do we need? If we are above ground and breathing the rest is up to us!
    Rule 1: Treat every firearm as loaded
    Rule 2: Always point firearms in a safe direction
    Rule 3: Load a firearm only when ready to fire
    Rule 4: Identify your target beyond all doubt
    Rule 5: Check your firing zone
    Rule 6: Store firearms and ammunition safely
    Rule 7: Avoid alcohol and drugs when handling firearms
