This unit describes the skills required to site range complexes as a member of a Range Siting Board. It includes the processes of siting individual ranges or a group of ranges as part of a range complex ensuring the efficient utilisation of land and the safety requirements related to the use of weapons and ammunition.

This unit was developed for Defence personnel who work in range management and range control but may be relevant to others who work in this field.

The skills and knowledge described in this unit must be applied within the legislative, regulatory and policy environment in which they are carried out. Organisational policies and procedures must be consulted and adhered to.

Those undertaking this unit would work independently or as part of a team under indirect supervision, while performing complex tasks, in a range of familiar contexts. They would use discretion and judgement and take responsibility for the quality of their outputs.

No licensing, legislative or certification requirements apply to unit at the time of publication.
