Future Act Provisions:

The Extract notes that there are statements within the agreement of the kind mentioned in ss24EB(1) or 24EBA(1) or (4) of the Native Title Act 1993 (Cth), and so the consequences set out under those sections are triggered by this agreement.

• the renewal, re-making or re-grant of the Pastoral Lease from time to time.

• the grant of a pastoral lease from time to time in relation to all or part of any Stock Route or Reserve, to the extent and in the terms of schedule 2 of the agreement.
