It has effect as an ILUA, and in relation to the agreed acts, from its registration date.� *Native Title Provisions* Right to negotiate The parties have agreed�that the right to negotiate provisions of the Native Title Act 1993 (Cth) (NTA) apply. Extinguishment The parties agree that the non-extinguishment principle applies- this means that under s24EB(3) of the NTA, any of the activities authorised under this ILUA which may be inconsistent with native title rights and interests do not extinguish these rights and interests, instead they are revived when the activities are finished.� Future act provisions The Extract notes that there are no statements within the ILUA of the kind which are mentioned in ss24EB(1) or 24EBA(1) or (4) of the NTA, and so the consequences set out under these sections are not triggered.
