[QUOTE="mbasko, post: 541510, member: 4485"] Unfortunately I would say not. I'd be surprised anyway. IMO the Fossicking Policy they have produced is nothing but a farce & my initial optimism that with proper process they may allow it in some areas has gone. They will use any excuse to deny it & IMO the Fossicking Policy was only produced because they were made to do something due to pressure from other dept's such as Tourism. I think to be honest the 2 x NPWS areas that now have allowable fossicking areas will be under threat once their plans of management come up for review! I've found locally they are approachable & not against fossicking in some areas but once it gets up the ladder to Regional office etc. then you just hit a brick wall & silence. They aren't interested in understanding what we do or why they are wrong with the assumptions used to deny us at that level. It'd probably be easier to just give up but when opportunity to put in submissions come up I'll keep trying. Maybe one day they won't have any grounds to deny or commonsense will prevail - but I'm not holding my breath with this one eyed (green) bureaucracy. [/QUOTE]
