Commencement

The agreement commenced the day following the execution of the co-management agreement. However, clauses 25 and 26 dealing with Future Acts, came into operation when the ILUA was registered; that is, 26 June 2012.

Transfer of the ILUA area

All parties to the ILUA agree to the State of South Australia transfering the ILUA area to the Antakarinja Matu Yankunytjatjara (Aboriginal Corporation). However, this transfer is conditional upon the ILUA area being constituted as a Conservation Park under section 30 of the South Australian National Parks and Wildlife Act 1972. The ILUA area is to be co-managed under the National Parks and Wildlife Act 1972 (SA). However, before transfering the ILUA area, the State must resume the ILUA area from its current reservation.

Road between Coober Pedy and Oodnadatta

The parties to the ILUA acknowledge that the road between Coober Pedy and Oodnadatta runs through the ILUA Area. They agree that this road is to be maintained by the State of South Australia as a public road.

The land corridor for the road is to be an area that is 100 metres to each side of the centre line of the road.

The State of South Australia has authority to carry out any activity necessary to maintain, upgrade or renew the road within the land corridor.

Borefield Pipeline

The parties to the ILUA acknowledge that the Borefield Pipeline in Coober Pedy runs through the ILUA area. This pipeline is to be maintained by the District Council of Coober Pedy in order to supply water to Coober Pedy.

The District Council of Coober Pedy has the authority to carry out or authorise any activity necessary to maintain, upgrade or renew the Borefield Pipeline within the land corridor located either side of the road.

Future Acts

The parties to the ILUA agree that any future acts done invalidly by the State and the District Council of Coober Pedy within the ILUA area prior to the date of execution of the ILUA are valid.

The parties also agree that future act provisions of the Native Title Act 1993 (Cth) do not apply to the ILUA area.

Management Plan

The parties agree that a management plan will be prepared and adopted for the Conservation Park under section 38 of the National Parks and Wildlife Act 1972 (SA) and clause 18 of the co-management agreement. It is agreed that this management plan is valid for the purposes of the Native Title Act 1993 (Cth).

Authorisation of activities

Certain notification protocol authorises notifiable acts on parts of the ILUA area which are identified in the management plan as cultural conservation or public access.

The parties agree that the State of South Australia or Board may carry out or authorise by permit, lease, licence or agreement under the management plan, the National Parks and Wildlife Act 1972 (SA), or any other legislation, the carrying out of any activities upon the ILUA area which are consistent with the operation of the ILUA area as a Conservation Park and registered Aboriginal site.
