Why QPFA Why Now?
Queensland Prospectors and Fossickers Association (QPFA)
The Queensland Prospectors and Fossickers Association (QPFA) has been established to advocate for and represent the interests of prospectors and fossickers across Queensland.
Like organisations in other states, QPFA has been formed to provide a clear, united voice for prospectors and fossickers in Queensland; who have not had a body to represent them up until this point and face some of the most restrictive conditions in the country.
The purposes of the association as set out in our constitution are:
1) To advocate for and represent the interests of prospectors and fossickers within Queensland, to gain fairer access to land for prospecting and fossicking in Queensland and to strive for better conditions generally to stimulate and encourage prospecting and fossicking.
2) To make submissions to state and federal government, parliamentary Inquiries, members of parliament, local councils and councillors, industry associations, Statutory bodies and other entities or associations on matters impacting prospecting and/or fossicking.
3) To inform members of news and events related to fossicking and prospecting
4) To promote responsible prospecting and fossicking within the Queensland community and educate citizens that prospecting and fossicking is our heritage and our future.
Membership applications will be accepted following the launch of our website. We aim to hold our first public meeting in the next few months.
For now, we invite you to like and follow our page for updates.
