Summary Information:
The ADEJV Gugu Badhun Indigenous Land Use Agreement enables the Australian Diatomaceous Earth Joint Venture (ADEJV) to undertake a mining project in the Greenvale area, north west of Townsville in northern Queensland. The project consists of development and operation of a diatomaceous earth mine and processing facilities, including a 'Prototype Plant' and 'Commercial Plant'. The native title party to the agreement, the Gugu Badhun people, have consented to the grant to ADEJV of all 'approvals, consents, licences and other entitlements' required for the project. This consent is given conditional to ADEJV providing benefits to the native title party and complying with a set of terms. The terms and benefits are specified in schedules attached to the agreement (these schedules are not included in the information on the extract of this ILUA from the Register of Indigenous Land Use Agreements).
