WLB are not the law. They do not provide legal advise. There is also no case law on the matter.
The wording of "securely fixed to the frame or floor of a permeant building" is rather clear in my opinion. It just needs to be be secured to the structure by any means. Could be as simple as a nail through the container and into the gyprock. Or even a steal chain linking the container to a secure point of the structure. It does not need to be complicated. Just drill into the floor or wall with screws or bolts and be done with it. Or buy a container over 150kg.
Did you not read the original post. Not wanting to put holes in floor and questionable about fixing to a wall.
WLB officers do enforce the Weapons Act and it's regulations (laws)
Your opinion is exactly that, an opinion or interpretation of a small section of the Weapons Act. Ultimately it will be one of the local LEO's doing the secure storage inspection that will make that call with his or her interpretation of "securely fixed to the frame or floor of a permanent building".
The OP could say a bloke on a forum told me to do this and that OR I contacted WLB and this was the officers response.
In my many dealings with WLB, they have mostly been very helpful, where they can assist. Like any Govt Dept., make a note of who you are speaking with or communicate via email.
