    (a) in its own secure storage container (such as a cash box or an ammunition
    box that is in secure storage or in a stout locked cupboard) that has—
    (i) a locking mechanism that has a key or combination number that
    is different from the key or combination number for the person’s
    container for firearms; or
    (ii) a padlock that has a key or combination number that is different
    from the key or combination number for the person’s container for
    firearms; or
    (b) in a lock box in a gun safe cabinet that has a different key from the key
    for the gun safe cabinet, and the key for the gun safe cabinet must be
    stored in a different place from the other key; or
    (c) if the ammunition is bulky and difficult to store in a container, in a
    locked room or storage area on the licence holder’s premises that—
    (i) is of sufficiently robust construction to prevent the theft of the
    ammunition; and
    (ii) has been inspected and approved by a member of the Police

    When renewing I had a funny experience with the ammo safe. Had a padlocked/deadbolted cupboard which I used (one may have described it as "stout"), well separate from safe. Not up to snuff, needs to be a locked container. My reckons about someone being able to abscond with a container easier than a cupboard were brushed aside. In any case I bought some ammo tins, padlocked them, and now they go in the locked cupboard. I don't really know if that was the correct application of the regulations but as @m101a1 said, no point arguing when it cost me $50 to do it their way.
    Thanks for providing that, I was wrong to question it and will now move a key off one key ring on to another to comply
    RV1, veryfuturistic and ASap like this.
