Eyre Peninsula Security & Defence

The Defence vision for the Cultana Training Area (CUTA) Redevelopment Phase 1 Project is to create a state-of-the-art training establishment in South Australia (SA) that enables Brigade level manoeuvre and live firing exercises.

Expansion of the Cultana Training Area supports future joint training needs and the capability of 1st Brigade and 7th Battalion, Royal Australian Regiment (7 RAR) Battle Group, which is established at the Edinburgh Defence Base, SA.

The Cultana Training Area is only one of two areas in Australia able to support joint and combined training. It is primarily used for Defence training activities or operations and has the potential to host training exercises involving allied forces.

Of particular interest to council is building a closer relationship between the ADF and defence industry suppliers and local businesses.
