Introducing the SSAA Allambi Shooting Complex
Welcome to a groundbreaking chapter for our Association! We’re still not quite open for business yet but we’re thrilled to share some exciting news and updates here as we progress.
Our association has successfully acquired this substantial piece of land and secured a government grant (Office for Recreation, Sport and Racing) to help realize our vision of a state-of-the-art multi-discipline shooting complex. This monumental step marks a significant milestone provided for YOU as a member of our State Association.
There has never been a better time for South Australians to join the SSAA. Owning our very own dedicated facility and land, freehold means that we can better secure our sport for future generations. Over time, we will continue to develop this property as funds become available.

Conservation
The SSAA(SA) is proudly conducting a major conservation effort on the property. We have a resident population of vulnerable malleefowl and many other important species of plants and animals living in the ‘heritage agreed’ parcel of native vegetation on the eastern side of the property.
Pest control – Invasive weeds and invasive animals are a very real threat to our unique South Australian biodiversity. Did you know that South Australia has less than 10% remnant native vegetation left? This is what makes these parcels of land even more important and valuable (high value biodiversity assets). It is our responsibility to make this place better than how we found it. Over the last 12-18 months, we have been very busy collecting datasets on both native vegetation and also the important wildlife the reside or visit here during migration seasons. All of this data (bird species list, native vegetation list and all of the animals and insects) will be made available for people visiting the Allambi Shooting Complex and will help raise awareness and educate our future generations of budding conservationists.
Allambi Shooting Complex will not only be a place to learn how to shoot competitively but also a place to learn how we take care of our country. Hunting pest animals is just one of the many ways we achieve this but also by providing more habitat for the animal species we want and need.
These lucky malleefowl have now come under the protection of our small army of member volunteers from both the C&WM Branch providing a special pest control program focusing on predatory animals namely foxes and cats but also from our many volunteers who are involved with providing more and improved habitat.
Native Revegetation – We have already planted 70 acres of mixed mallee species to provide more habitat and to begin the long process of regenerating the thrashed out old cereal cropped paddocks.
The Sporting Shooters Association of Australia (SA) is open to teaming up and working with other conservation organisations and/or businesses to expand on our efforts. We plan to rehabilitate and plant another 424 acres of mixed mallee that has been set aside and we are looking to raise funds to help us achieve extremely important goal. Please get in touch with our Executive Officer James Reeves if you have any questions regarding our conservation story. Stay tuned for more information and progress on this.
