Future Acts The Agreement covers Future Acts that are eithre expressly or impliedly done in a manner consistent with the Agreement.

Under Clause 34.3, the Local Government is empowered to proceed with a Future Act that is otherwise not covered by the Agreement, "in any other way that the Native Title Act allows." The Agreement further provides that, where a Future Act was invalidly done before the Execution Date of the Agreement, the Future Act is valid. High and Low Impact Activities As noted above, the Agreement provides consent for certain High and Low Impact Activities to be done in the Agreement Area.
