Weapons Prohibition Act 1998

The holder of a permit in respect of a prohibited weapon that is prescribed for the purposes of this section must comply with the following requirements (each of which is a level 2 requirement)—

when any such weapon is not actually being used or carried, it must be stored in a locked steel safe of a type approved by the Commissioner and that cannot be easily penetrated,

such a safe must be bolted to the structure of the premises where the weapon is authorised to be kept,

such other requirements relating to security and safe storage as may be prescribed by the regulations.

A permit holder does not have to comply with a level 2 requirement if the permit holder satisfies the Commissioner that the permit holder has provided alternative arrangements for the storage of prohibited weapons in the permit holder’s possession that are of a standard not less than the requirements set out in this section.

The Commissioner may, in such cases as the Commissioner thinks fit, vary or modify a level 2 requirement in respect of its application to a particular permit holder. Any such variation or modification is to be imposed by way of a condition on the relevant permit.
