The Electrical Trades Union of Victoria are opposed to the continual restrictions placed on their member’s recreational activities in Victoria and have instigated a political lobby group, the ” Outdoor Recreation Advocacy Group”. As part of this launch over 900 electricians walked off building sites in Victoria on the 31st March 2023.
The PMAV have contacted the ETU and been welcomed into this lobby group to work together in ensuring ALL Victorians have access to their rights to responsible recreational activities free of over governance and restrictions.

Always in our hearts and minds, Rita Bentley (OAM) who passed away 15th July 2020.
Her amazing lifetime devotion to fight for our rights to maintain access to our public forests on behalf of all bush users as well as the members of PMAV.
The PMAV committee going forward will not lose sight of her efforts as a legacy for her marvellous contribution and dedication into the future.
Minelab, with the nationwide assistance of state organisations representing prospectors, compiled the first of its kind, economic report into prospecting within Australia.
With almost $1Billion in GDP and over 5500 full time jobs, governments would do well to remember our contribution to not only the economy, but to the social and mental health benefits many Australian families get from prospecting.

Lower house www.parliament.vic.gov.au/get-involved/petitions/national-park-creation-in-central-highlands-and-...Geological Survey Victoria estimates that there is ‘significant potential’ for gold and critical mineral deposits in the Central Highlands region.
The Nationals want a comprehensive geological assessments undertaken.
Locking up the area would lock out bush users and also block future mining access for critical minerals and metals needed for new technologies and renewable energy industries.
The value of our mining industry for the future prosperity of this state must be considered.
Recently I met with expert geologists at state parliament to discuss this.
Decisions made about public assets above the ground, must also consider valuable resources beneath the ground.
If you’re opposed to the establishment of Great Forest National Park too and - please sign the petition by clicking the link below 👇

Cool leadgen. But where was it found. Because I don't believe where they say Iv been there and meat him and wife years ago out bush .Because it didn't have had a lease on it and riped up.where the marker is today . Things never made sence to me and where he worked at end of his life ..I ask others why. Like a few said u got a point?. Old joke how do u no if a prospector telling u the truth ?
Surely PMAV you would check the validity of this before sharing? I’m calling it BS
I was lucky enough to camp next to him and his wife Bep at Leinster in WA a few years back and hear the story from the horse's mouth so to speak and the sparkle in his eyes was like he was there digging it out of mother earth, certainly inspired me, a lovely couple
