| Details of the agreement Commencement The ILUA was registered with the National Native Title Tribunal on 4 July 2013. No start or end date is specified in the Extract. The Agreement is said to continue for the duration of the mining licence and renewals unless terminated by agreement between the parties. Terms of the Agreement Clause 6.2 of the Agreement provides for the parties' consent to: - the grant of the mining licence to Fiddlers Creek Gold Mining Company; - the use of the mining licence by Fiddlers Creek Gold Mining Company; - mining done in the ILUA area. Native Title Provisions Right to negotiate provisions do not apply The parties agree that the right to negotiate provisions of the Native Title Act 1993 (Cth) do not apply, as the alternative consultation provisions are to be followed instead. Without this agreement, the grant would have been invalid and the right to negotiate provisions of the Native Title Act 1993 (Cth) would apply. Under this Act any activity, such as a grant of land, that may affect native title rights is defined as a 'future act' and must comply with the future act provisions of the Act in order to be valid. Background to the Agreement: Native Title in the ILUA Area The Dja Dja Wurrung Peoples filed a native title claim with the Federal Court of Australia as proceeding VID6001/00 on 19 July 2000. On 28 March 2013, the Victorian Government and the Dja Dja Warrung people reached a Recognition and Settlement agreement under the Traditional Owners Settlement Act 2010 (Vic). This agreement recognised the Dja Dja Wurrung people as the traditional owner group for approximately 266,532 hectares of Crown land in central Victoria. The ILUA area is subject to this land. | ||
