Victoria Restricted Crown Land
Victoria Crown land closed or restricted for mining, exploration and detecting.
What it shows
Restricted and unavailable Crown land in Victoria, from the state open-data service (the Restricted and Unavailable Crown Land for Mining and/or Exploration dataset). This is the no-go layer: national, wilderness and State parks, reference areas, and marine sanctuaries, where mining and exploration, and so metal detecting, are not allowed. Each area carries a short label and its status, either Restricted Crown Land or Unavailable Crown Land. Land that is exempt from the restriction is deliberately left out, so the layer never paints detectable ground as no-go. These reserves change slowly, but always confirm the current status before you detect.
Before you rely on it
Mining and exploration are not allowed on this land, and metal detecting is not either. It covers national, wilderness and State parks, reference areas and marine sanctuaries. Ground outside these boundaries is not automatically open. Reserves change slowly, but confirm the current status before you go.
Putting this on your map
Taking a layer from the Library onto a stack, and tuning how it draws, is a short guided tour on your own map.
