| The Normanton Aboriginal Land Trust is an Aboriginal Land Trust established in 1995 to hold land granted under the Aboriginal Land Act 1991 (Qld). The Trust holds land for the benefit of Aboriginal people, their ancestors and descendants. It is required to comply with the administrative and financial requirements of the Aboriginal Land Regulation 1991 (Qld).
