Summary Information:
The Jangga People Protected Areas Indigenous Land Use Agreement (ILUA) is a body corporate agreement between: - the State of Queensland; and - Colin McLennan, Thomas Brown, Dorothy Hustler, Marie McLennan, James Gaston and Tyrone Tiers on their own behalf and on behalf of the Jangga People; and - Bulganunna Aboriginal Corporation (PBC and RNTBC). The Extract does not stipulate a specific purpose for the Agreement.
Detailed Information:
Details of the Agreement Commencement The Extract does not specify a start or end date for the Agreement. Clauses 1, 2, 3, 4 and 13 of the Agreement commenced on the date of execution, being 12 December 2012. The remaining clauses of the Agreement commence on the date of registration, being 1 March 2013. The Agreement (subject to clauses outlined below) will continue in force in perpetuity. The Agreement may be effectively terminated by written agreement of the parties or if a Regulated Management Plan comes into effect, that Plan may override the operation of this Agreement. If a substitute ILUA, concerning all or part of the area covered by this Agreement comes into effect, that substitute ILUA may override this Agreement. Agreement There is very little information within the Extract regarding the terms of the Agreement. The Extract does note, however, that there are no statements within the Agreement of the kind which are mentioned in 24EB(1) or 24EBA(1) or (4) of the Native Title Act 1993 (Cth), and so the consequences set out under these sections are not triggered by this agreement. This means that the ILUA does not: - provide consent for the doing of any acts by non-native title parties; - effect the right of the native title parties to negotiate with non-native title parties proposing to undertake a future act; nor - validate any previous future acts. Native Title in the ILUA area The Agreement Area is subject to the decision of McLennan on behalf of the Jangga People v State of Queensland [2012] FCA 1082. The Jangga application first commenced in 1998 and was accepted for registration in 2000. This Consent Determination recognised that native title exists in favour of the Jangga people over approximately 11,350 square kilometres of land in Central Queensland. The Determination Area included 218 parcels of land comprising of reserves, national park, unallocated State land, pastoral holdings and lease land. This ILUA concerns two parcels of land, being Wilandspey Conservation Park and Blackwood National Park.
