Hi Folks
I'm hoping someone can clarify this for me.
In the case of an area of land designated as a bush reserve, does a recreational prospector have access to the bush reserve to gain access to a creek or river which is exempt under the conditions found within a Victorian Recreational Prospecting Licence?
I believe I am quite correct in my understanding that a bush reserve falls under Crown Land ownership in which case given that it is Crown Land, the public should have access to the reserve itself and any named roads that cross through that reserve therefore giving access to the river or creek for the purpose of prospecting, however in the case that the bush reserve may be under a grazing or pastoral lease does this then restrict a recreational prospector or member of the public from being on that land or using any named roads for gaining access to the creek or river?
Thanks
Adam
