A message from the Australian Army regarding high explosive training activities at Cultana Training Area.
The Australian Army will be conducting routine training activities at the Cultana Training Area, resulting in increased noise and smoke, between 9-29 March 2019.
Units of the 1st Brigade will be training during day and night. Residents may see or hear low flying aircraft, live firing of artillery and mortars, and increased heavy vehicle movement, which can produce significant dust clouds. Heavy vehicle movement near range boundaries will be limited to reduce the amount of wind-blown dust leaving the training area.
The purpose of these training activities is to provide personnel with realistic training environments and scenarios to ensure they are able to safely deliver accurate and rapid fire in the event it is required.
These activities are part of the 1st Brigade’s regular training program and residents should not be concerned. Live fire exercises ensure the Australian Army is able to deliver the highest capability possible in defence of the nation and its interests.
DATE: Saturday 9 March to Friday 29 March 2019.
VENUE: Cultana Training Area, South Australia.
