| Hillig as Administrator of Worimi Local Aboriginal Land Council v NSW Native Title Services Ltd [2006] FCA 1184 (1 September 2006)
Between: Peter Hillig in his capacity as administrator of the Worimi Local Aboriginal Land Council (APPLICANT) AND NSW Native Title Services Ltd (RESPONDENT)
Judge: Bennet J
Where Made: Sydney
This is an unopposed determination and a non-claimant application under the Native Title Act 1993 (Cth).
Native title was found not to exist in the determination area.
Members of the Worimi Local Aboriginal Land Council (the Council) passed a resolution to sell some land that had been transferred to it under the Aboriginal Land Rights Act 1983 (NSW), but according to section 40AA(1) of the Aboriginal Land Rights Act the Council could not dispose of or otherwise deal with the land without first obtaining an 'approved determination of native title' in respect of it.
An application under the Native Title Act 1993(Cth) was made to the court for such a determination. NSW Native Title Services became joined as a respondent to the application and notified the court in writing that it did not oppose an order being made in the terms sought by Mr Hillig. A 'Short Minutes of Order' was signed by the parties to this effect. |
