[QUOTE="boobook, post: 534459, member: 1605"] bicter...PLH Pastoral Lease Holder. Dave.....Thanks, you confirm my reasoning that permission must be obtained for access to ANY mining tenement.....that Tenement is the livelihood of the holder the same way as the Pastoral Lease is the livelihood of the PLH. Without permission, it is trespass and able to be dealt with by law. In Qld., DNRME (or the equivalent in any other State) would not prosecute for trespass, it is not their job. It is a Civil law matter to be dealt with by the Police then through the Court system. I spent 16 years open cut opal mining in SW Qld. having to negotiate through ML applications and grants, EPM applications plus dealing with ILUA's and OH&S issues. We learned that allowing fairly unfettered fossicking activity on our leases can lead to very expensive public liability claims. The only way to overcome this is by after the applicant obtaining written permission from the PLH, then us by giving written permission with a signed disclaimer from the fossicker. I am very much in favour of the WA system whereby a sec.40e permit grants access to up to 10 graticular blocks of an EPM for 3 months and believe this should be the system adopted by all States. It is a quite straight forward application giving access security to the prospector plus the EPM holder is aware as to what is going on. mike [/QUOTE]
