Details of the agreement Commencement The ILUA commences on the date of its execution except for subclauses 4.5 and 5.2, clauses 6-7 and Schedule 2. These exceptions commence on the registration date (28 November 2011). Future Acts The parties consented to a number of future acts, including: - Minor works (subject to Schedule 2 which has not been released by the National Native Title Tribunal); - access to the ILUA area in order to perform these minor works; - use of land siting Electricity Infrastructure which was in existence at the execution date (this date has not been released) and use of any adjacent land required for operational use and maintenance of this Electricity Infrastructure; - the use of land, 10 meters on either side of any Electricity Infrastructure which is located in airspace e.g. a powerline; - use, maintanence and repair of access tracks. Background The Kalkadoon people first lodged a native title application in 1995 followed by five other applications. Kalkadoon #4 was filed in 2005 with Kalkadoon #5 application lodged in 2006 and both were accepted for registration pursuant to the Native Title Act 1993 (Cth). In 2010 the court combined the #4 and #5 applications and the application was accepted for registration pursuant to s109 of the Native Title Act 1993 (Cth). The Kalkadoon #4 people were granted Native Title on 12 December 2011. As part of this determination Ergon Energy was named as holding rights and interests in relation to an ILUA between the native title holders and Ergon Energy Corporation Limited executed on 20 June 2011 - 'Kalkadoon People/Ergon ILUA'. It is probable that this ILUA referred to by the Court is the same as this ILUA registered on 28 November 2011. This is one of a series of ILUAs that the Kalkadoon people have entered into following the Consent Determination.
