Amending Goldfields Act expands land use rules
The Amending Goldfields Act broadens access to land for miners and residents on the goldfields. It allows up to 20 acres near towns for homes and up to 600 acres outside town limits for pastoral use, with rents set per acre. The act tightens gold buyer license controls, requires court evidence for licenses, mandates open record books, and aims to curb theft and improve governance on Kalgoorlie Boulder fronts.
