  • Charles Bigie on his own behalf and on behalf of the Dauan People;
  • the Dauanalgaw (Torres Strait Islanders) Corporation RNTBC; and
  • the Torres Strait Island Regional Council.
  • The agreement area covers about 783 sq km, consisting of 3 lots on Dauan (Mt Cornwallis Island) in the Torres Strait.

    Native Title Provisions:

    Right to negotiate

    The parties agree that the right to negotiate provisions of the Native Title Act 1993 (Cth) do not apply to the doing of the agreed acts (see below).

    Extinguishment

    The parties agree that the non-extinguishment principle applies - this means that under s 24EB (3) of the Native Title Act 1993 (Cth) any of the activities authorised under this agreement which may be inconsistent with native title rights and interests do not extinguish these interests, instead they are revived when the activities are finished.

    Future act provisions

    • the new Dauan Primary Health Care Centre and staff accommodation;
    • a temporary Health Clinic;
    • a construction lay down area; and
    • any other new facilities to be constructed on the agreement area under the terms of the leases.

    The agreement also provides consent for the doing of any future acts necessary or incidental to the above.

    Native Title in the Agreement Area:

    The agreement is located within the area of native title recognised by the Federal Court of Australia in the consent determination proceeding Dauan People v State of Queensland [2000] FCA 1064 (FCA File No.: QUD6248/1998; NNTT File No. QCD2000/002).
