Mount Morgan Fossicking Survey

Residents of the Mount Morgan district are encouraged to have their say on the potential establishment of a fossicking area at the No. 7 Dam.

Rockhampton Regional Council is considering the creation of a General Permission Area (GPA) at No. 7 Dam as part of its Advancing Mount Morgan Strategy. The GPA would allow licensed fossickers to search for gold in the area.

Strict conditions would be enforced to ensure the preservation of the natural environment and safety of the No. 7 Dam. Mandatory special conditions would be applied for anyone fossicking in the identified area
