  • Prospecting in Victoria
    PROSPECTING IN VICTORIA 1. What is a Miner’s Right? A Miner’s Right is a permit to prospect for minerals on unreserved Crown Land or Private Land where the permission of the landowner has been granted. 2. What is prospecting / fossicking? Prospecting involves the use of metal detectors, hand tools, pans or simple sluices in the search for gold and gemstones. 3. Why is a Miner’s Right required to prospect for minerals? All minerals belong to the Crown, even on private land. A Miner’s Right transfers the ownership of any minerals found whilst prospecting, to the holder of the Miners Right. 4. Who needs a Miner’s Right? Anyone searching for minerals needs to have an exploration licence, a mining licence or a Miner’s Right. 5. Does that mean that a Miner’s Right is required even if you are fossicking on your own land? Yes. 6. How much is a Miner’s Right? Refer to Earth Resources Fees and Charges 7. How long does a Miner’s Right last? You can purchase a Miner’s Right for 2 or 10 years, but not exceeding 10. 8. Do pensioners, people who are unemployed or people with disabilities receive any concessional discount if they purchase a Miner’s Right? No. 9. Do hobbyists or gemstone seekers require a Miner’s Right? Yes. 10. If a family goes away prospecting and fossicking does each family member need a Miner’s Right? All adults who intend to fossick must have a Miner’s Right. Children under supervision of an adult with a Miner’s Right do not need a Miner’s Right of their own.

  • Submission to Inquiry Into Environmental Infrastructure for Growing Populations Environmental and Planning Committee, Legislat
    SUBMISSION TO INQUIRY INTO ENVIRONMENTAL INFRASTRUCTURE FOR GROWING POPULATIONS ENVIRONMENTAL AND PLANNING COMMITTEE, LEGISLATIVE ASSEMBLY, VICTORIA 24 September 2020 Friends of the Barwon Inc. (FOTB) represents a group of concerned citizens. The organisation was incorporated in 2019, to advocate for the protection and improvement of the ecosystem of the Barwon Basin, including the Yarrowee-Leigh and Moorabool Rivers. FOTB has over 200 members, has received financial, in-kind and moral support from a number of organizations, including: Shires of Colac-Otway and Surf Coast; Barwon Water; Corangamite Catchment Management Authority; Southern Rural Water and a large number of community organisations with connections to the Barwon, Moorabool, and Yarrowee-Leigh river basins. At its launch in July 2019, some 150 people attended, including senior representatives of the Minister for Water, G21, City of Greater Geelong, Barwon Water, Corangamite Catchment Management Authority and several shires. Further details can be found at https://friendsofthebarwon.org.au Contact Details: c/o Upper Barwon Landcare Network 57 Main St, Birregurra 3242 [email protected] 1 | P a g e Preamble Victoria’s two major regional centres of Geelong and Ballarat are the focus of this submission. In particular we will suggest that the major waterways, namely the Barwon/Moorabool and the Yarrowee, flowing through these two cities respectively, are a logical option to create a network of environmental infrastructure throughout these cities and beyond. Our submission will provide suggestions for the future arrangements we believe are necessary to secure and sustain this environmental infrastructure. We strongly endorse the state government’s priority to enhance green infrastructure in our cities to create more liveable and climate-adapted communities, whilst at the same time cooling and greening the urban spaces - as has been suggested for Melbourne.

    Ballarat Central Business District Local Flood Guide Flood information for Gnarr Creek and Yarrowee River in Ballarat Central Business District Lydiard Street, December 1991 (source: Ian Wilson) Ballarat For flood emergency help call VICSES on 132 500 Reviewed: June 2021 Local Flood Guide Ballarat CBD Ballarat Central Business District Much of the Ballarat CBD is open to flash flooding from Gnarr Creek and the Yarrowee River. The area covered by this guide lies between Humffray Street (to the east,) Dawson and Yullie Streets (to the west,) Market and Mair Streets (to the north) and Dana and Eastwood Streets (to the south). Gnarr Creek flows through Ballarat North and enters channels under the ground from near the Creswick Road roundabout through to where it joins Yarrowee River near Grenville Street. The map below shows possible flooding if the rainfall of the December 1991 flood were to happen today. Are you at risk of flooding? Flooding in Ballarat CBD is usually caused by very heavy rainfall from local thunderstorms. The floodwater rises and falls quickly so you may not receive any warning (so it is called flash flooding). Flash flooding can turn into fast water running down streets and footpaths posing a serious risk to people on foot, mainly children. Flooding from Gnarr Creek is the major flood risk to the Ballarat CBD. During heavy rain Gnarr Creek can become full and overflow near Doveton Street. The water then flows down Market, Mair and Grenville Streets before reaching and flooding Bridge Mall. The Creek rises very quickly during major storms and can take as little as two hours to reach highest levels.
