All compulsory acquisitions, applications for tenements, grants of general purpose leases and Petroleum Titles and productive mining can occur without the further negotiation or compensation that would otherwise apply under the Native Title Act 1993 (Cth). The ILUA was made following a consent determination on 5 July 2001 that native title exists in parts of the Nharnuwangga, Wajarri and Ngarlawangga native title claim in Western Australia.
