Help Support Prospecting Australia:
I think in the recent VEAC report just released it sates NO PROSPECTING within a conservation park or similar? ( Flora and Fauna reserve ) may be the same!
Pretty sure that the VEAC report hasn't been ratified yet & is still a recommendation?
At the moment it would appear that reserves in Victoria are independently managed by Committees of Management so it would depend on them whether prospecting is allowed.
The DELWP (Dept of Environment, Land, Water & Planning) oversees the management of all Vic Crown Land so you may need to talk to them about any reserves of interest.
To be honest outside of State Parks & the allowable National Parks I think any conservation or nature type reserves would be very doubtful.

Yes i think the reserve status is usually created to protect a certain habitat, and perceived threats are regulated out of them.
Prospecting is often considered potentially harmful by Organisations like VEAC etc. Though prospectors disagree, low impact
prospecting under terms of the Miners Right is low impact.
