New South Wales Fossicking Districts
Declared New South Wales districts where fossicking on an exploration licence is legal.
What it shows
The declared fossicking districts of New South Wales, mapped by the Geological Survey of NSW. Each shape is one gazetted district, and you can tap it for its name. This is the detecting crux for the state: fossicking on an exploration licence is only legal inside a declared district, so the layer answers one question, are you standing in a district where fossicking is allowed. Being inside a district is not the whole story. A fossicking licence, landholder permission, and the current rules all still apply, so check the conditions before you dig.

Taking a layer from the Library onto a stack, and tuning how it draws, is a short guided tour on your own map.
