In June the NSW & ACT Prospectors and Fossickers Association (NAPFA) put in a submission to a NSW Government Inquiry into Tourism in local areas.
I am pleased to report that NAPFA has now been asked to participate in public hearings for the inquiry in Sydney in August.
This will provide an opportunity to further explain to the Committee concerns that we have over the access issues in NSW and their effect on local tourism. We will highlight the potential contribution of fossicking to local tourism economies.
This is part of NAPFA’s work to help fossicking access and interests in NSW.
I am also delighted to see that a number of other NAPFA members, and members of this forum, also lodged their personal submissions. In fact there were EIGHT separate submissions that covered fossicking from a total of 76 submissions, which is an outstanding contribution by the fossicking community to the inquiry. Thanks to all who contributed!
Here is a link to all the submissions, including NAPFA’s (number 44) and PMAV’s (number 41):

If you have not already joined NAPFA, now would be a great time.
We need all the members that we can muster to help demonstrate that we are genuine and credible.
I think we are the best $20 you will spend this year on your hobby!
