The training will involve the use of military aircraft, watercraft and land vehicles.
Local residents may notice increased movement in and around the training areas.
Some aircraft noise may result from this training, however, every effort will be taken to minimise the impact on members of the public.
Personnel participating in the training will be carrying weapons, however live ammunition will not be used.
Blank ammunition will be used and small controlled demolitions will be undertaken.
This training is being conducted to ensure the Australian Defence Force maintains the highest level of capability and is prepared to support Australia’s national interests.
The Australian Defence Force has consulted with all relevant authorities and will endeavour to minimise disruption.
Defence would like to thank local residents and businesses for their continued support and cooperation during this important activity.
