[QUOTE="mbasko, post: 633308, member: 4485"] Because in most cases in Australia the Crown still owns the minerals under the ground not the landowner. In NSW State Forests exploration is an allowable activity, in areas not protected etc., as is fossicking. Exploration or fossicking isn't allowed in most National Park areas but Exploration is in their State Conservation Areas. You'll notice the EL north of Sunny Corner borders the Turon National Park but doesn't go over it. When they put EL's over large areas they aren't required to notify all landholders. They do need to negotiate access arrangements if they want to directly access specific areas for on ground exploration activities within the EL. Most of the area they cover never gets accessed directly so most landholders would likely not be aware. A lot of exploration over large areas is done from the sky & on ground activities only cover small specific targeted areas of interest. If you don't know about the EL than it's likely because they haven't identified any area of interest on your land (yet) that they need access to? NSW EL holders are only required to post notification of lease area activities etc. in the local paper/s or contact stakeholders for medium to high impact activities or publish a notice on application over an area in local papers etc. [/QUOTE]
