    North Central chat | NOVEMBER 2018 1 NOVEMBER 2018 Keeping you up to date with all the Landcare and Waterwatch news A message from the Regional Landcare Coordinator News 2 Events 5 Hi everyone, Waterwatch update 7 I am thrilled to be back after a refreshing and enjoyable Funding News 10 extended break. I managed to squeeze in trips to WA, SA, New Zealand and Mallacoota, so it’s been an amazing three months from Western to Eastern Australia… and beyond! I wish to extend thanks to my wonderful CMA colleagues Cass, Laura, Darren and Britt for all their help in keeping the Chat, grants and other Landcare related activities rolling along smoothly while I was away. Congratulations to the 2018-19 Victorian Landcare Grant recipients , I look forward to being involved in your projects as they progress throughout the coming 12 months. It was certainly a challenging experience as an assessor this year with so many deserving projects unable to be funded. However, I am pleased we were able to support as many groups as we did with the available funds. Funding and the future of Landcare was a key topic of discussion during the 2018 National Landcare Conference in Brisbane which Darren and I attended, along with National Landcare Award nominees Ian Higgins and Tarrangower Cactus Control Group, in early October. https://www.nationallandcareconference.org.au/presentatio The conference showcased grassroots Landcare projects n-request/ from across the country, amidst keynote speakers discussing Over the coming month, Darren and I will be hosting feeding hungry soils, supporting meaningful partnerships.

  • 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.
