[QUOTE="mbasko, post: 251945, member: 4485"] Recently I've approached a few local area councils about considering the recent NSW Resources approach/offer for more LGA's to become fossicking districts. Essentially in becoming a fossicking district it removes the need for us to by rights (legally) have to acquire the permission of Exploration Lease holders to fossick. It doesn't change any other access requirements but removes a lot of red tape (stupidity). You still need landholder permissions & other mining tenement permissions for access. Today I received notice that a report has been prepared for Bathurst Regional Council to consider at their meeting on June 1. The report is very favourably written in support of the Bathurst Region becoming a fossicking district. This area includes well known areas such as Hill End/Tambaroora, Sofala, Wattle Flat etc. I know it's late notice but if any members live in the Bathurst area, nearby or are otherwise interested in seeing this get through & could contact Bathurst councilors to reinforce the benefits of this to not only local people but in tourism promotion hopefully we'll see the need for EL holder permission removed. I've personally been asked to move on by an EL holder in this area whilst on otherwise freely accessible Crown Land & think this rule is probably the most unfair + in many cases unknowingly broken law we are expected to comply with. Other councils I've contacted in regards to this are Mid-Western Regional Council ( Mudgee, Gulgong, Hargraves, Windeyer etc.) & Wellington Regional Council ( Stuart Town, Burrendong etc.). Hopefully these areas get on board too & if anyone who is interested in this getting through then also contact these councils or any others local to yourself. [/QUOTE]
