[QUOTE="Matt80, post: 429002, member: 3461"] In regards to the creek, if that was Queensland then our laws would be fine with it if it was classed as a gully on private land as that's sediment removal (wouldn't be ok to extract gold from it unless u had a mining claim) but if it was classed as a waterway or stream then you would be in court. Our laws are so strange in some cases as a simple definition on a map regardless of if both areas look the same can be the difference between your responsibility as a landholder (reduce sediment and vegetation flowing into waterways) and being in court for environmental damage(moving a dead tree or digging into a stream/waterway).
