Inquiry into local tourism....
This is something that many forum members could contribute to. There are lots of able writers here so how about turning your skills and creativity to this task?
You don't have to make it a long document, even a couple of hundred words is helpful, but more if you can. Just use your own personal experiences and your local knowledge to explain to the committee in your own words how important tourism is to the regional economy of NSW and in particular how you think prospectors and fossickers can contribute to that process. And how things could be made better for prospecting 'tourists' or visitors.
Use examples of where you know it has worked well -- including interstate. And also examples of where it is not working well and why not.
Tell them how much money you spend in regional areas chasing gold. If you go to WA or some other state, tell them why.
NAPFA will lodge its own submission which we will post onto the NAPFA website as well but any government inquiry will benefit from hearing directly from the public.
Details here: www.parliament.nsw.gov.au/Prod/Parlment/committee.nsf/0/F9A89E80EC796DE1CA257B630006FEF7
Submissions can also include references to impediments to tourism and put forward ideas/solutions and recommendations for action. i.e. changing legislation, re-establishing fossicking areas and all the other things that will make it easier for us to detect and inject funds into struggling local communities
Feel free to copy your submissions to President@napfa.net Your submissions help us understand the issues better as well.
THE MORE THE MERRIER! Time to let them know we are here and that we care. cheers
