‼The Independent Reviewer has released their recommendations to the Small-scale Titles Review‼
📑We have hard copies available for the community, for a gold coin donation, at 4 Nobby Rd.
📑These recommendations are the response from over 360 submissions that were made from the community and broader opal industry.

📑These recommendations will be considered by the NSW Government and their response can be expected by the end of the year, which will then inform the legislative changes for the opal mining industry.
