Sporting Shooters Association of Australia (NSW) Inc. 9 Improvements With the new lease on life, the Club has seen several changes. This year we have acquired four new traps to help establish the sporting layouts, place storage sheds on each layout, upgraded the main ground to include ramps and gates for vehicle and wheelchair access, and developed four permanent 5-Stand layouts. Future Improvements The Club continues to develop, with many more plans on the horizon. The Committee continue to improve the safety and accessibility of the grounds, and will shortly be installing new stairs to the Skeet houses. Investigation has commenced to determine viability of powered sites for caravans and camping within the range complex, as well as purchasing a Caretaker's cottage. A long-term replacement program has been implemented to replenish old traps creating a more user friendly and manageable system.
