[QUOTE="Simmo, post: 499079, member: 4105"] It is on Leases, that can count as trespass. But not on applications and EPM's. Enforcement has ramped up with feild officers finally doing their job, getting out of the office and into the field. The problem lies in that lease boundaries are not clearly defined. I have pegs that are 800 mtrs apart, one wouldn't have a clue that they had crossed my boundary. Ordinarily the area would be under an EPM or MLA, so making it illegal here, removes the problem. If you are caught anywhere in the area, you are trespassing?! The fact remains though, area's like the Palmer, it is illegal in the R16. And you are right, its the convictions and penalties that need to be stepped up. Not just confiscation of gear, then saying you can pick that up at the Mines dept in Mareeba?? [/QUOTE]
