Registered with the National Native Title Tribunal ('NNTT') on the Register of Indigenous Land Use Agreements on 8 January 2019. This is an authorised Body Corporate Agreement under the Native Title Act 1993 (Cth).

The Westside Indigenous Land Use Agreement ('ILUA') was agreed, under the provisions of the Native Title Act 1993 (Cth), between the Minister for Lands and the Yinhawangka Aboriginal Corporation Registered Native Title Body Corporate (RNTBC).

The agreement area covers about 20 sq km, generally located along the Paraburdoo Tom Price Road between Wakathuni and Bellary Spring Community.

The purpose of the agreement is the creation of a Reserve in the agreed area and allowance of reserve related acts by the Yinhawangka Aboriginal Corporation RNTBC as the management body, for the purpose of Yinhawangka People's social, cultural and economic development.

The Native Title Representative Body for this area is the Yamatji Marlpa Aboriginal Corporation.

Agreement area:

The agreement area covers approximately 20 sq km, and is generally located along the Paraburdoo Tom Price Road, between Wakathuni and the Bellary Spring Community.

Commencement:

Procedural clauses commenced operating on the date which the last of the parties executed the agreement. The ILUA commenced operating from the registration of the agreement on 8 January 2019.

Termination:

This agreement will terminate on the occurrence of one of the following events (whichever happens first):

• where the reserve has not been created or the management order has not been granted to the Yinhawangka Aboriginal Corporation by 8 January 2020;
• where non-registration occurs;
• where all parties agree in writing to end the agreement; or
• where the agreement is removed from the ILUA register as per s 199C of the Native Title Act 1993 (Cth).

Apart from these reasons, the parties are not entitled to terminate this agreement for reasons of breach or repudiation of the agreement.

Right to negotiate

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

Extinguishment

• the creation of a reserve in the ILUA area;

• the exercise of all rights, powers and obligations to give effect to these acts; and
• the doing of any and all acts relevant to the doing of land transactions set out above.
