Cessnock District
Hunting Club Inc

Cessnock District Hunting Club inc was established on 10 June 1998.  The Club is an incorporated association that has been operating continuously since that date.

​

As an Approved Hunting Organisation (AHO), the Clubs purpose is the promotion of lawful, safe, and ethical hunting and target shooting. 

​

The Club is governed in accordance with its constitution and is managed by an elected Committee.  An Annual General Meeting of all members is usually held in July each year.

​

Our objectives are clearly enshrined in our Constitution. They are:

1. To promote the sport of legitimate recreational hunting, and target shooting

2. To develop a code of ethical conduct for all hunters and to find ways to enforce it

3. To work with Governments to ensure that the interests of hunters are taking into account when laws are being framed

4. To seek to open up suitable areas of public land including appropriate national parks and state forests for the hunting of non-indigenous animal species and other vermin by suitably accredited hunters

5. To work to establish in legislation the lawful right of persons of good repute, whose stability is not open to question, to acquire, keep and use firearms for legitimate purposes

6. To work actively to improve the image of the legitimate recreational shooter

7. To seek to curb the lawless and dangerous element; and to help shooters understand that they hold the future of their sport in their own hands by their standards of conduct

8. To teach, and promote junior members in the discipline of target shooting

​

The Club holds regular meetings to enable members to remain informed in relation to changes that may affect them in areas such as legislation, firearms safety and hunting practices.
