The site contains multiple training zones with targets and practice areas designed for different types of weapon exercises and tactical maneuvers.
The facility was established in 1988 as a dedicated space for Australian air force training operations. It developed over time to accommodate modern aircraft and evolving tactical training requirements.
The range features a simulation township constructed from shipping containers known as Tac Town for military forces to practice urban warfare scenarios.

The range connects electronically with other training areas to form an integrated defense training network. This electronic linking allows coordinated exercises across multiple locations for complex operational scenarios.
