| Summary Information: | |
In the Tagalaka People Exploration Permit Backlog Project Indigenous Land Use Agreement (ILUA), the Tagalaka People have agreed to the grant of Exploration Permits (EPs) and Mineral Development Licences (MDLs) by the State of Queensland. The right to negotiate provisions of the Native Title Act 1993 (Cth) do not apply to these grants. This will enable the backlog of applications for tenements in the agreement area made to the State by grantees to be processed without requiring the longer timeframes of the right to negotiate process that would otherwise apply.
EPs may be granted to an 'Explorer' for up to five years, subject to a set of 'Native Title Conditions' specified in the agreement and provided that the Explorer has paid the compensation amount required under the agreement. Explorers may be granted an MDL subject to the same provisions, as long as they have also been granted an EP under the ILUA and do not have any 'outstanding dispute' with the Tagalaka People nor have 'breached any conditions' relating to that EP.
On being granted a tenement, the explorers may conduct 'Exploration Activities' in the area.
EPs and MDLs granted under the ILUA may be renewed, provided they remain subject to the conditions of the agreement. |
