[QUOTE="mbasko, post: 358006, member: 4485"] Highbanking rules/regulations has been discussed numerous times on here over the years NAPFA has been up & running with good input from them. Due to both NAPFA members & non members frequent questioning of what can & can't be done I believe prompted NAPFA to take this up a few years ago with NSW Resources (damned if you do, damned if you don't) - unfortunately its been NSW Resources that haven't come to the party. It's been a long running & ongoing issue!! It hasn't just been put up now but has now become more of an issue after the NSW Resources Regulator recently declared a period of priority on compliance & enforcement on highbanking as an activity. I don't really blame you for keeping on doing what you have always done but be prepared to be fined etc. if caught. I don't think they are mucking around! For the record I get periodic updates from NAPFA throughout the year via email (Edit: these are also posted on various forums + their own website I believe). Sometimes due the volunteers having their own lives it might be awhile in between but they do come through. Maybe check your spam box & set NAPFA as a trusted sender? The PMAV has been running for over 30 years, is well supported in Victoria + interstate (I'm a NSW member) & also calls on member support when things dictate i.e. recent heritage issue & more Parks areas. NAPFA is only in it's infancy & needs more + ongoing support to succeed here in NSW. These are the times that we need to stick together not jump ship!! :| [/QUOTE]
