You can place the safe in your room or the garage and I'd suggest that don't plaster it with shooting/hunting stickers, keep the door to the room locked at all times and all should be sweet.

Are you able to provide me with an example of that?
Traffic is minimal, myself and family only will be in this room.

I'm hoping that would be fine as it's far over the 150kg mark, and only visible if you are in the room.
Ignore whats on and around it, I'm just moving things around. My question is, will this pass an inspection for A/B?

I know here in SA you have to keep your gun out of sight when transporting it in the car but that's very different from storage.

Glad you have done your own research so many people think they know the law (including me) and in reality they can be wrong. Which is why your own personal research is good!
The biggest issue with laws too is that was is legal in NSW maybe illegal in WA and vice versa.
There is also myths perpetrated by clubs that are run by fudds that are what they want to see and somehow it's law because of that.
Worst part is if you ring the various registries the people working their may not know the law either.
Not sure about where you are but NSW registry put out a "fact" sheet, which is what the commissioner considers you have met the requirements of safe storage/transportation etc.
If your registry puts out something like that might be good to review!
Good looking safe! Hope you fill it
