[QUOTE="NAPFA, post: 352604, member: 2301"] Detectist - you said. [i]I've sent an email to NPWS asking what is happening. I last asked in January. I thought the SCA comment papers should really have referred to this work.[/i] Well, NPWS have dragged their feet on this matter at all steps of the process, so I am not surprised you have not received a reply. The NPWS fossicking policy I was told last week is going to be published in September. It remains to be seen how much access it will facilitate, and what hoops we may have to jump through to visit these areas. One thing is for sure NPWS are unlikely to make it easy or simple, even though that is what we have argued for. If you want to see in detail what we have argued for then you can read it here: [url]http://www.napfa.net/upload/NAPFA%20Comments%20on%20Draft%20Fossicking%20in%20National%20Parks%20policy%2010%20May%202016.pdf[/url] I would encourage you to read it to understand the background and arguments we have used. In the meantime, we need to take any chance to put in submissions that keep asking for fossicking, especially in SCAs like Monga and any others that come up where fossicking is relevant and has been practiced in the past. The response to these will pave the way for a 'Round two' if we don't get anywhere under this policy. NAPFA will also be putting in one for Monga, and Cottan-Bimbang and the Cells for those who have been following that one. That is due tomorrow and I have been working on it this weekend. cheers Stephen President NAPFA [/QUOTE]
