Detailed Information:
Details of the Agreement The Quandamooka State ILUA provides consent to certain agreed acts by the State of Queensland and the permanent surrender and extinguishment of all native title rights and interests over the approved areas including: - areas to be granted in fee simple under the Land Act 1994 (Qld); - residential areas [clause 21.9]; - Point Lookout Town Expansion parcels; and - development and sale sites in Dunwich, Amity Point and Point Lookout Town Expansion Areas. The native title party also consents to the State of Queensland applying for the grant of deeds in fee simple over the surrender area in favour of the adjoining owners only if a grant of freehold tenure is required. Background Native Title History In July 2011, Delaney on behalf of the Quandamooka People #1 v State of Queensland [2011] FCA 741 (4 July 2011) and Delaney on behalf of the Quandamooka People #2 v State of Queensland [2011] FCA 741 (4 July 2011) were handed down.
