Native Title in the ILUA Area

The native title rights of the Indjalandji-Dhidhanu People were recognised on the 18 December 2012 in the unreported case of Saltmere on behalf of the Indjalandji-Dhidhanu People v State of Queensland (unreported, FCA, 18 December 2012, Dowsett J). The Indjalandji-Dhidhanu People filed a claim for Native Title in the Federal Court of Australia on 8 October 2009 over approximately 19,730 square kilometres, located approximately 25km west of Mount Isa in the vicinity of Camooweal. Native title was found to exist in parts of the determination area.
