### sec.45 Declaration does not normally affect person’s title to land
A declaration of land as designated fossicking land or a fossicking area does not affect a person’s title to land unless the owner’s agreement to the declaration contains terms binding on the State and the owner and the owner’s successors in title.
Under section 48 (Some agreements run with land) an owner’s agreement to a declaration of land as designated fossicking land or a fossicking area may be made binding on the State, the owner and successors in title.
