### sec.28 General permissions
A person whose permission is needed to allow someone else to fossick on land may give the chief executive permission ( general permission ) for—
fossicking on the land; and
camping on the land by persons fossicking under a licence.
If a person gives a general permission for fossicking on particular land, a licensee does not need the person’s written permission to fossick on the land.
If a person gives a general permission for camping on particular land by persons fossicking on the land under a licence, a licensee does not need the person’s written permission under the following provisions to camp on the land.
Unless a general permission for camping is given, written permission is needed for camping on non-regulated designated fossicking land and fossicking areas, and other areas on which a person fossicking under a licence may camp.
However, if the general permission requires the licensee to get another type of permission before entering the land, the licensee must get the other permission before entering the land.
