[QUOTE="mbasko, post: 146452, member: 4485"] Hire a solicitor then. They will charge you for their opinion. Or read this opinion: [url]https://www.prospectingaustralia.com/forum/viewtopic.php?pid=146189[/url] The fact is there are no clear facts. The legislation is very grey & open to interpretation on both sides. Obviously the Fisheries up there are taking a "no pump" stance to suit their purposes or someone's that is or has made complaints to them & most likely pointed out the "mechanical" sentence convincing them that it is a mechanical means of processing. More than likely they would have no understanding of how a highbanker works & they are completely blinded by the running pump The pump doesn't "drive" your highbanker it delivers water allowable under water legislation. The highbanker is static. Nothing is driven. All you will get is opinion because as far as I can tell it's never been tested for fact or penalised as law. You could contact the DPI & ask for clarification? information-advisory@dpi.nsw.gov.au You could also ask why Fisheries Officers are policing recreational fossicking on the Peel River where they gave no indication of fish habitat issues & their only concern was with Mining legislation?
