Area to be cleared
The Royal Australian
Air Force would check and
clear its former bomb
practice range in the area
about to be developed as
the new Tuggeranong
residential area, a spokes
man for the National
Capital Development Com
mission said yesterday.
He said the commission
had been aware from the
earliest stage of planning
that part of the area to
be developed had been
used for practice bomb
ing.
The bombs had had only
small charges, designed to
release a puff of smoke
for spotting.
The RAAF had cleared
the area in 1961, but
would make a further
check next month and re
move any fragments re
maining.
