Guidelines to facilitating greater certainty for land access and use.
Last updated:

As set out in the 7 February 2011 letter from the State Attorney-General to the Federal Court of Australia, the State of Western Australia sought to achieve greater certainty in a post native title determination environment for land access and use. The  State’s  intention  was  to  advise  all  parties  of  relevant  land  management interests as soon as possible after a claim is referred to mediation or case management by the Federal Court.
