Personnel from the Australian Army’s 1st Brigade, and Singaporean Armed Forces, will be conducting joint training in the Rockhampton Region of South-East Queensland over the period of 08 to 16 November 2024.
The community can expect an increased presence of military personnel, vehicles and equipment in vicinity of the Shoalwater Bay Military Training Area, as well as the Rockhampton Reserve Depot on Western Street.
The community may see military vehicles, helicopters, or soldiers carrying weapons with blank ammunition, and may hear periodic blank ammunition firing. This is a routine training activity, and there is no danger, and no cause for alarm.
No live ammunition will be used during the training, and noise disturbances will be minimised where possible.
This training with an important regional partner is vital in developing the skills of the Australian Defence Force in providing world class military capability to Government in defence of the nation.
The 1st Brigade thanks the public sincerely for their patience and cooperation while this essential training is being conducted.
