NZ Shooting Range data

Simon Kerr made this Official Information request to New Zealand Police

New Zealand Police did not have the information requested.

From: Simon Kerr

Dear New Zealand Police,

I have been unable to find any centralised list of all shooting ranges in NZ. Being the approving authority for civilian ranges, can the NZ Police please release data on all civilian shooting ranges of all types (rifle ranges, pistol, sporting clay, etc) in NZ. Ideally the data would include:
- Range Name
- Range Type
- Range approvals/capabilities (permitted firearm calibers, shooting distances, i.e. 50m, 100m, 300m etc)
- Specific Location (address and/or coordinates)
- Managing party (NZDA branch, pistol club name, etc) and contact details for that party.

Ideal data format would be .csv or .shp GIS shapefile.

Many ranges and shooting clubs do not have an online presence, in terms of a website, so are difficult to find out about without local knowledge. Releasing this data would simplify the task of firearm users locating ranges where they can practice/train to become safer and more proficient.

In accordance with the eligibility requirements of s12(1) of the Official Information Act, I state that I am a New Zealand Citizen, and reside in New Zealand. I have a valid Firearms Licence, so I'm sure my details can be confirmed by the New Zealand Police.

Yours faithfully,

Simon Kerr
(Clarks Beach, Auckland)
