Summary Information:
The Western Yalanji and Mareeba Shire Council Indigenous Land Use Agreement (ILUA) was agreed between Mareeba Shire Council, Mr Rodney Riley, Mr Desmond Brickie, Mr Thomas James Mitchell, Mr Dell Riley, Mr Graham Brady and Mr William Steven Brady on 18 May 2006. The purpose of the ILUA is to resolve certain issues in the interaction between the Western Yalanji�s native title rights and interests and the Mareeba Shire Council�s infrastructure interests.
Detailed Information:
The Western Yalanji people consent to the continued operation, use and maintenance of all Non-Extinguishing Infrastructure, being infrastructure that is not Extinguishing and was constructed in the ILUA area before its commencement date, as well as all acts necessary for the operation of that infrastructure. This includes consent that certain future acts may be done. The parties also agree that the right to negotiate provisions of the Native Title Act 1993 (Cth) do not apply, as the alternative consultation provisions are to be followed instead. Under this Act any activity, such as a grant of land, that may affect native title rights is defined as a �future act� and must comply with the future act provisions of the Act in order to be valid.
