Michael John Atkinson, Attorney-General of South Australia (APPLICANT); and Ceduna Marina Development Company Pty Ltd; Barker Bryant, Clem Lawrie, Gladys Rita Miller, Richard John Le Bois, Kenneth Gordon Roberts and Samuel George Mastrostavas on behalf of the Far West Coast Native Title Claim Group; Aboriginal Legal Rights Movement Inc; and the District Council of Ceduna.

The purpose of the ILUA is promote an effective relationship between the Traditional Owners, the State of South Australia, Ceduna Marina Development Company Pty Ltd and the District Council of Ceduna in order to allow the development of the Ceduna Keys Marina waterways project. The development encompasses residential land, medium density housing, tourist accommodation, a resort hotel, sporting and recreational facilities and commercial businesses. The traditional owners will surrender all their native title rights over this area for the duration of the agreement. The ILUA does not have a specified end date.
Detailed Information:
The parties to the ILUA consent to the doing of all acts necessary for the development to be undertaken, and to the giving of benefit to the traditional owners in the form of employment, training and compensation. The development, expected to be completed by 2012, will cost an estimated $100,000,000 (Major Projects South Australia). This ILUA includes agreement that 'future acts' may be done. The parties also agree that the right to negotiate provisions of the Native Title Act 1993 (Cth) do not apply to future acts, as the alternative consultation provisions are to be followed instead. Under this Act any activity, such as a grant of land, that may affect native title rights is defined as a 'future act' and must comply with the future act provisions of the Act in order to be valid. According to Aboriginal Way, the process for negotiating this agreement was one that involved extensive community negotiations. Some of the issues considered important to the community were employment and training opportunities and the undertaking of a Heritage Survey of the proposed site prior to commencement of construction (Aboriginal Way).
