As this is a body corporate agreement, there must be at least one registered native title body corporate for the ILUA area and thus a determination of native title in place. The relevant native title determination in this case is Lennon on behalf of the Antakirinja Matu-Yankunytjatjara Native Title Claim Group v The State of South Australia [2011] FCA 474.
On 11 May 2011, the Federal Court held that native title exists in parts of the determination area. The determination area is approximately 76,000 square kilometres and is located in Central South Australia. The area extends north to east from mt Willoughby and Mt Arckaringa to the Trans Australian Railway, and extends east from Talleringa Conservation Park to Millers Creek. The Antakirinja Matu-Yankunytjatajara Aboriginal Corporation is the prescribed body corporate nominated to perform the functions prescribed under the Native Title Act 1993 (Cth).
