Summary Information:
According to the extract from the Register of Indigenous Land Use Agreements, this ILUA 'provides for the recognition and exercise of traditional rights claimed by the Adnyamathanha people over the ILUA area and facilitates entry by the Adnyamathanha people into a Co-Management Agreement over the Vulkathunha-Gammon Ranges National Park'. This ILUA is the first in South Australia to deal with national parks. Under its terms, the Adnyamathanha native title claimants agree to excise the Vulkathunha-Gammon Ranges National Park from their native title claim. In exchange, the ILUA recognises and provides for the exercise of the traditional rights and interests of the Adnyamathanha native title group in regard to the park area. It also provides for future Co-Management arrangements. Under a separate Co-Management Agreement, representatives of the Adnyamathanha native title claimant group will be involved in management decisions affecting the Park.
Detailed Information:
The Parties agree that the existing statutory right to negotiate procedure is not intended to apply to either the grant of mining tenements in relation to the ILUA Area or the carrying out of any operations or other activities under such mining tenements. The Parties agree to the validation of all future acts (if any) done invalidly by the State, within the ILUA Area, prior to the date of execution of the ILUA. Following registration of the ILUA, the future act provisions of the Native Title Act 1993 (Cth) do not apply over the ILUA Area in relation to acts and activities of a kind referred to in clause 18.2. The non-extinguishment principle will apply to all these acts and activities.
