๐Ÿ“œ Indigenous Conservation Title Bill 2007

Message sent to the Legislative Assembly with amendments for concurrence.LABill 23726 September 2007

The Indigenous Conservation Title Bill 2007 cancels existing reserves (Gibson Desert Nature Reserve and Rudall River National Park), transfers an estate in fee simple to traditional owners, and provides for joint management of these areas as national parks or nature reserves, with some areas designated for Aboriginal community living.

Impact

Traditional owners of the Gibson Desert Nature Reserve and Rudall River National Park will gain ownership and have a role in managing these lands. The broader community benefits from the preservation of these areas and recognition of Aboriginal culture and heritage. The State settles its native title compensation liability.

Key Changes

["Cancels Reserve No. 34606 (Gibson Desert Nature Reserve) and Reserve No. 34607 (Rudall River National Park).", "Transfers an estate in fee simple in each of the former reserves to traditional owners.", "Establishes a joint management regime for the land between the CALM Act CEO and the traditional owners."]
