| Summary Information: | ||
| This Indigenous Land Use Agreement (ILUA) was agreed between the Tablelands Regional Council (the 'Council') and the Ma:Mu People. The purpose of this ILUA is to set out the relationship between present and future infrastructure by the Council, and any rights and interests that may be recognised with respect to the Ma:Mu People's native title claim. More specifically, the ILUA is intended to provide consent for a range of acts in relation to such infrastructure, whether or not they are future acts. | ||
| Detailed Information: | ||
| Pursuant to this ILUA, the parties agree to the doing of all approved future acts for which a Proposed Activity Notice or a Revised Activity Notice has been given to the Ma:Mu People, and in respect of which the Ma:Mu People have given a Concurrence Notice. Non-extinguishing infrastructure The Ma:Mu People consent to the Council's continued operation, use and maintenance of existing "Non-Extinguishing Infrastructure", as well as the land where this infrastructure is located, and also the land and waters adjacent to it. For the purposes of this ILUA, "Non-Extinguishing Infrastructure" consists of Council infrastructure that does not constitute a public work, but that was established in the ILUA area on or before the commencement of the ILUA. The parties to this ILUA agree that no compensation will be payable to the Ma:Mu People with respect to the following kinds of Non-Extinguishing Infrastructure: Minor works or activities The Ma:Mu People also consent to the undertaking of the following minor works or activities on certain conditions: Roads The Ma:Mu People consent to the Council's operation and maintenance, the public use and the Minister's dedication of all constructed roads within the ILUA area to a width of 60 metres. Consent is also given to the Council's operation and maintenance, the public use and the Minister's dedication of all off-alignment roads. Right to negotiate provisions The parties also agree that the right to negotiate provisions in Part 2, Division 3, Subdivision P of the Native Title Act 1993 (Cth) do not apply to any of the future acts to which consent has been given under this ILUA. Background to Native Title in the ILUA area The Ma:Mu People are registered claimants in an application for a determination of native title in proceeding QUD 6014 of 2001 in the Federal Court of Australia. Their claim relates to about 1596 square kilometres of land and waters south of Innisfail in northern Queensland, and is currently in mediation. The land subject to their claim overlaps with the area covered by this ILUA. The Ma:Mu People are party to the Ma:Mu Canopy Walk Heads of Agreement, which was signed together with the North Queensland Land Council, the Wet Tropics Management Authority, the Queensland Parks & Wildlife Service and the Johnstone Shire Council in 2002. They are also party to the Ma:Mu Cassowary Coast Regional Council Area Indigenous Land Use Agreement (National Native Title Tribunal File No. QI2010/019). | ||
