Detailed Information:
Commencement and termination The ILUA commences on the date of its execution (being 7 July 2008) and is effective for a period of 2 years. Whilst the ILUA will terminate after that period, certain clauses are specified to apply after the termination date. Surrender The parties consent to the surrender of a portion of the land within the ILUA area defined as the 'Surrender Area'. This surrender is intended to extinguish any native title that may exist within the 'Surrender Area'. The surrender will take effect on the date of registration of the ILUA on the National Native Title Register of ILUAs. This registration occurred on 2 April 2009. The parties agree that their consent to the doing of this act constitutes the requisite consent for the purposes of ss 24EB(1)(b) of the Native Title Act 1993 (Cth), which cover the effect of registration on previous and proposed acts covered by ILUAs. In particular, this provision limits the ability of parties to seek any compensation for future acts other than that provided for within the ILUA. Dedication of land for use as a reserve The parties consent to the dedication of prescribed portions of land for use as a reserve for environmental purposes. Dedication of lands is a process prescribed under the Land Act 1994 (Qld). The parties also consent to any acts necessary or incidental to the management of that land as a reserve. This dedication will not extinguish native title in that area, however, native title rights will be suspended to the extent that they are inconsistent with the rights created by the dedication of the land. General provisions The parties also agree that the right to negotiate provisions in Subdivision P, Division 3, Part 2 of the Native Title Act 1993 (Cth) do not apply to the doing of any act covered by this ILUA.
