[QUOTE="Occasional_panner, post: 578930, member: 7956"] The way I interpreted it was there had to be public access already to the river frontage (bridge), or it had to be accessed via the river itself. Access across someones private land to get to the river isn't part of this idea and I don't think anyone would support that. This is aimed at fishermen, to allow them to camp overnight where the current situation it's not allowed. Keep in mind in Vic you can't own river frontage, it can be leased from the state for the farmer to have access to, but they never own it. That is always state property. The only thing to change here is to allow those that can already walk/kayak up the river and fish can camp on the bank overnight. I can't think of one situation where there was a public vehicle access point that went to a farmers river frontage. So no, this won't compell farmers to open their gates to campers, they still need to access the bank via the river, or the leased public land on the river frontage. Remember, this is public land, the farmer doesn't own it. [/QUOTE]
