    Summary Information:
    The Township of Urapunga Indigenous Land Use Agreement (ILUA) was agreed between the Northern Land Council (NLC), the Northern Territory of Australia (NT) and the native title parties, the Ngalakan People. The purpose of the ILUA is to provide consent for the compulsory acquisition of land as per items 2 -5 of the Schedule attached to the Agreement.
    Detailed Information:
    Under the ILUA, the native title parties agree that subject to the completion of compulsory acquisition by the NT of the Acquisition Land, and to the scheduling by the Commonwealth Government of the Scheduled Land, native title rights and interests in relation to the Surrendered Land will be extinguished. The consideration for the extinguishment and surrender will be the inclusion of Lots 9, 30 and 54 of the Town of Urapunga in the Scheduled Land.

    The parties also agree that the NT may use the Surrendered Land for any purpose at its absolute discretion, and that no compensation will be payable in addition to the consideration as set out above.

    The Surrendered Land is to be used for residential development and the extension of the caravan park.
