It is, IMHO, shameful that that sporting shooters have to fork our $30 odd grand.... just to have somewhere to shoot.... It's not a fair/equitable use of public land?? just look at every other sport from lawn bowls tennis footy you name it, that in the vast vast majority use 'public' land (though that term is a fallacy in itself).... most if not ALL others pay a 'peppercorn' rent/lease... ie, well below 'market' rates...if they DO want 'market' rates, then look at all the clubs in leafy suburbs, Tennis clubs, bowls and see how they will go... with their dozen members..
Footy? equate the ovals to the "median house price" too, the under 10's memberships would be multiplied by a factor of what, 5 or 10?? or more...
As far as ANZAC goes, there should be NO cost, and an ongoing 'agreement'... NOT a lease with enough termination/ default clauses that would have the shooters out 'at a whim'; eg;
Standard of premises - if at any time the premises or any part of the premises is not in a safe condition that is fit for its purpose and permitted use in accordance with all applicable laws and authorisations;...
What is safe? is there a standard? Fit for purpose is hugely vague and subject to interpretation... what laws and authorisations, current? future?
That is just one example of the 'escape' clauses, one that I myself would have written to give the lessor comfort in the knowledge they they can cause a default.... should it be 'required'...
