230: Certification granted subject to condition

You could also call this:

"Certificates for pistol shooting ranges have special rules to follow"

Illustration for Arms Bill

If you get a certificate for a pistol shooting range under section 229, you must have an officer on duty when the range is in use. This officer must have a firearms licence and be trained in pistol shooting range safety management. You might have to follow other conditions that the chief executive thinks are necessary, such as how to maintain the range or who can access it. The chief executive can also set conditions about what types of firearms or ammunition can be used, or what competitions can be held at the range. If you want to change how you run your pistol shooting range, you must ask the chief executive to review your certificate if you plan to do something different from what your certificate says.
