•Category A, B and C (Shotgun) Weapons may be used at the proposed range.

Right....

[sbd3927]

OMG 85db.... that's at the standard measuring distance of 1 metre right? Surely the "experts" wouldn't be failing to mention how sound is measured and dissipates over distance? They'd better campaign hard to ensure the shooters wear hearing protection. BTW What's the noise level at the border of the property... and for a hoplophobe with an ear trumpet?

Maybe they should propose something different for the site of wider spread benefit to the community, like a high temperature biomedical waste furnace, perfectly safe for surrounding environs.

NIMBY at work

(Not in my backyard)

"...the back yards of two families..."

So when they call themselves the "residents" plural they literally mean two are complaining

[grainweight]

Same old, same old.

Complete load of crap with nothing but ifs, coulds and mights with nothing to support them.

Enjoy your new shooting range Residents of Rocksberg

Hopefully that's a dose of reality for them and they'll get over it and keep their bitching to themselves.

I noticed that... smells like rollie brownstain and his undisclosed GCA membership numbers of three... or is it 4?? HI ROLAND

The proposed range is less than 500 metres from the back yards of two family homes.

OMG, they will actually HEAR people recreating outside and enjoying each others company, and of course the company of their fave 6shooter

Firing on the range is approved for in excess of 100 days a year, including two weekends a month.
An 85 space Car Park must be constructed.

Thats just NOT ON, lets petition the council to open 24/7/365... AND car parking for 1000 people in case the nationals are scheduled!!

Category A, B and C (Shotgun) Weapons may be used at the proposed range.

HOLY CRAPPOLI BATMAN, not only A, not only A and B.... BUT A B & C!!! Yippikiyee mfer!!!

Lead may contaminate the water catchment and Koalas and and several other species may be placed under environmental pressure.

NOT THE Ko-ali bears! damn those Ko-alis contaminating the waterways... oh.
Damn those water catchminentation..... oh.. what was the question...

The lead was mined FROM the environment.... shooters are just closing the circle of life, and returning the lead (and the Koalis) TO the environment

So.... council has OKed the development application
f*** OFF residents, move to .... somewhere else

[inervate]

f*** OFF residents, move to .... somewhere else

May I suggest china.

No civilian guns there.

Enjoy your new life there RARRR

[pajamatime]

[Wes]

Then they might get 2 followers!

Oh noes!

[Bourt]

It's too easy to get a website setup obviously

[Odo]

Did a google on 85db,
It is the sound level of city traffic.
Bunch of whingers.

[Westy]

Do you think this might be the most advertising they got so far???? And here on a Gun site WTF???

[PaWNTANK]

I've lived in SE QLD my whole life and have never even heard of Rocksberg until now.
Might be a reason to visit it now

[Korkt]

Sounds like one guy or a pair of neighbours doing all the bitching.

Suck it up, it's happening.

[Pythonkeeper]

I used to frequent this area as a young fella, the swimming holes used to be great back then, now days they are littered with beer/soft drink bottles, food packets, syringes and bongs, I'd never take my kids there....
