    The ILUA was registered on 13 August 2007.

    The purpose of the ILUA is to declare a National Park (Scientific) over the land that is the subject of this ILUA. The ILUA also sets out the co-management arrangements of the park. It will be run in conjunction with the native title parties.
  • Detailed Information:
    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.
