Facilities
The Sydney International Shooting Centre has drawn on leading designers, architects and technicians to produce the most advanced facility of its kind in the world. Sydney-based Gazzard Sheldon Architects designed the venue, while Swiss-based Sius Ascor provided state-of-the-art electronic target and scoring equipment to give the elite and novice sports shooter the best possible experience.
The centre boasts one fully-enclosed indoor range and three partially-enclosed ranges for pistol and air rifle shooting, which includes the world’s first finals range incorporating a 50-metre, 25-metre and 10-metre all-in-one range, as well as separate ranges all located in the one complex. There are another three Olympic outdoor ranges for trap, double trap and skeet and eight standard ranges for trap and skeet, down-the-line trap and American skeet.
The conference room, club room and a large concourse known as the breezeway, have been designed to showcase the local area’s natural features while providing excellent facilities to hold corporate and club meetings and large or small social events.
The club room is complete with kitchenette and BBQ facilities. These are available to groups using the conference and meeting rooms who may wish to self-cater.
Amenities include permanent seating for 1,250 and athlete services include showers, change rooms and secure storage areas. All ranges and spectator areas have been designed to cater to those with special needs. Hearing Loops have been supplied in the spectator galleries, lifts are available in the main building and accessible amenities are also provided.
Safety and restrictions
Because of the nature of the sport, spectators are requested to turn off all mobile phones and flash photography is not be used during training and competition. It is strongly advised that spectators and competitors -- in particular pistol shooters -- wear suitable hearing protection. |
