| Summary Information: | ||
| The Ngadjon Jii and Beaven Indigenous Land Use Agreement (ILUA) was agreed between the State of Queensland, Albert George Beaven and Heather Jean Beaven, and Emma Johnston and others on their own behalf and on behalf of the Ngadjon Jii People (the Native Title Parties). The purpose of this ILUA is to provide consent for the grant of freehold title over the ILUA area to Albert George and Heather Jean Beaven, and for the consequent extinguishment of native title rights in the ILUA area. | ||
| Detailed Information: | ||
| Grant of freehold title Pursuant to this Indigenous Land Use Agreement (ILUA), the Native Title Parties consent to the grant of freehold title over the ILUA area (Special Lease No. 1/52198) to Albert George and Heather Jean Beaven (the Lessees). Surrender and extinguishment of native title The Native Title Parties also agree to the surrender of any native title rights that may exist in the ILUA area to the State of Queensland. This surrender of native title takes effect immediately, before the Deed of Grant in fee simple is issued in the names of the Lessees over the ILUA area. The Native Title Parties agree that the surrender of native title rights and interests under this ILUA is intended to extinguish all native title in the ILUA area. Background to native title in the ILUA area The Ngadjon Jii People's native title rights with respect to 13,287 hectares of land in the vicinity of Atherton, Cairns and Mareeba in Far North Queensland were recognised in the proceeding Ngadjon-Jii People v Queensland [2007] FCA 1937 by the Federal Court of Australia. This determination of native title was made on 12 December 2007, and included the ILUA area. The native title rights recognised in this determination included both the exclusive right to possession, use and enjoyment of land in accordance with traditional laws and customs to the exclusion of all others, and non-exclusive hunting, fishing and gathering rights. In Australia, native title rights such as those recognised in the Ngadjon Jii People's determination may only be extinguished in accordance with s 11 of the Native Title Act 1993 (Cth). This ILUA is one way of satisfying this requirement. | ||
