Ok, so I came across this in the "Local Government and Property Law Act" for our council:
4.2 Behaviour detrimental to property
(1) A person must not behave in or on local government property in a way which is or might be detrimental to the property.
(2) In subclause (1)—
detrimental to the property includes—
(a) removing any thing from the local government property including a rock, a plant or a seat provided for the use of any person; and
(b) destroying,defacing or damaging anything on the local government property,including a plant, a seat provided for the use of any person or a building.
I'm guessing last paragraph means "NO DIGGING!". Any advice on what I could do? Only go for surface finds? Contact the council and ask for permission?
