The areas covered by the Agreement are those areas where native title was determined on 28 June 2001 by the Federal Court of Australia to exist in the Bar- Barrum People's native title determination application (QG6222 of 1998). The Agreement does not cover areas within the external boundaries where native title has been extinguished, namely, areas subject to the miner's homestead leases named in Schedule 2 of the Federal Court Determination dated 28 June 2001, public work areas, opened roads, dedicated roads, roads legally constructed for public use and the Cairns to Forsayth railway line (Mungana Branch line). The Agreement falls within the Shire of Mareeba. |

| Summary Information: | |
Under the Bar-Barrum People and Mareeba Shire Council Indigenous Land Use Agreement (the ILUA) the native title holders of the area, the Bar-Barrum People, consent to all future council infrastructure work that may need to be done in the area of the Bar-Barrum People's native title claim determination. Schedule 2 of the ILUA sets out procedures for Council to follow in undertaking the construction and establishment of future infrastructure. Without this agreement, this work would be subject to the future act and right to negotiate provisions of the Native Title Act 1993 (Cth). The ILUA also provides an acknowledgement that it is necessary for Council to access any infrastructure within the area of the determination.
The ILUA contains a recognition of native title in the determination area by the Council. |
