103 Requirement to obtain consent to fossick
(1) This regulation applies to a person who intends to fossick on
relevant land and is required by the Act or these Regulations to
obtain the written consent of the specified person for the land.
(2) The person must give the specified person a notice (a fossicking
request) at least 14 days before the date of intended entry onto the
Mineral Titles Regulations 2011 57
(3) The fossicking request must include the following:
(a) a request that the specified person give written consent to the
entry onto the relevant land to fossick;
(b) the information mentioned in regulation 100(3)(b) to (h);
(c) if the specified person is the landowner of relevant land that is
a park or reserve – a statement about the effect of section 168
of the Act if the landowner does not respond to the request.
Note for subregulation (3)(c)
Because of section 4(1) of the Act, the right under section 168 of the Act in
relation to Aboriginal land or an Aboriginal Community living area is restricted
under other Acts in force in the Territory.
(4) Regardless of the date of intended entry onto the land specified in
the fossicking request, the specified person may consent to an
earlier or later entry date.
