Fossicking Districts NSW
Hi, can anybody tell me how to get a list of NSW declared fossicking districts in a simple manner. I have tried to do the overlay map thing at the gov site to no avail. I was thinking of taking a trip to Nundle but saw a lot of it was under EL. That would be be over ridden if it did happen to be a fossicking district. I have also searched the web but apart from a few listed can't find an exhaustive list for NSW. So if someone has a list or can point me to one I would appreciate it. By the way the Bulldog field in Ewingar state forest and Girard forest above Drake are still closed areas , although Boonoo State forest closer to Tenterfield is open and could be worth a look. Regards all

Re: Fossicking Districts NSW
"Within a fossicking district, a person can go onto an exploration licence for the purpose of fossicking without the licence holder's consent, provided they have the permission of the landholder. A fossicking district may cover a small area, or an entire Local Government Area (LGA)."
The list has been updated to include a lot more areas. Hopefully Dubbo LGA will be added soon. Edit: in fact Dubbo LGA while not on the list is included on the Minview map below sourced 18/10/20.
A lot of the former fossicking areas are now fairly redundant as they've been taken up in the larger LGA areas.
