ADDITIONAL INFORMATION

 

PROOF OF PRIMARY PRODUCTION

As part of your application, you will need to provide proof of your status as a Primary Producer. As per Regulation 108 of the Firearms Regulations 2024 you will need to provide:

  • Provide proof of land holdings – e.g., a current Rates Notice, Certificate of Title, or Lease Agreement; and
  • Provide evidence of primary production activity. This may come in the form of a Notice of Assessment from the Australian Taxation Office indicating your classification as a Primary Producer, outgoing waybills or sales receipts related to your primary production operations (livestock or crop sales) or any other official documents which can confirm that you are engaged in the business of primary production.

Note:  If the proof of landholding documentation is in another individual's name, please provide a signed letter from the landholder, confirming that you conduct primary production activities on their property and are to be recognised as the Primary Producer for that land.

 

SECURITY & STORAGE

  • Should your current storage and security arrangements be ineligible for grandfathering, you will be required to provide evidence of upgraded storage and security before your licence can be issued.
  • If you do require upgraded storage and/or security, you will need to email your completed Storage Statement to FirearmsProject@police.wa.gov.au referencing your licence number.
  • Please consult the storage matrix below to determine the storage and security requirements that apply to your circumstances. It should be noted that your storage requirements are determined by the number and type of firearms on your licence, plus any other firearms registered to your storage location.
