Summary Information:
The Local Government Indigenous Land Use Area Agreement Template (ILUA) was developed by the Aboriginal Legal Rights Movement Inc, the Local Government Association of South Australia and the Government of South Australia. The ILUA template �provides a framework for specific negotiations with native title parties across the State. This process ensures that participants are prepared and adequately resourced for the negotiation and the template is based on what has worked for other groups and is modified to reflect local diversities� (South Australian Indigenous Land Use Agreement (ILUA) Statewide Negotiations Strategic Plan 2006-2009, p.6). The template contains numerous clauses that set out matters including: The notifiable act process, including for future acts; Requirements of heritage surveys; A suggested Reconciliation Statement; The rules, role and membership of a Liaison Committee; A clause stating that the �right to negotiate� provisions of the Native Title Act 1993 (Cth) do not apply; and Planning protocols.
