RNTBCs (Registered Native Title Bodies Corporate) are corporations which have prescribed functions under the Native Title Act 1993 (NTA) to hold, protect and manage determined native title and ensure certainty for governments and other parties interested in accessing or regulating native title land and waters by providing a legal entity to manage and conduct the affairs of the native title holders. PBCs (Prescribed Bodies Corporate) are established as an interim measure to represent native title owners and their interests until an RNTBC is formally registered.

Abstract:An indigenous land use agreement (ILUA) is a voluntary, legally binding agreement about the use and management of land or waters, made between one or more native title groups and non-native title interest holders in the ILUA area (such as grantee parties, pastoralists or governments). The Register of Indigenous Land Use Agreements is kept by the Native Title Registrar in accordance with s 199A of the NTA and includes a description of the ILUA area, the parties' names, the term of the ILUA and other information as the Registrar considers is appropriate (s 199B of the NTA). Registration confers a contractual effect on the ILUA and binds all persons holding native title regardless as to whether they are already parties to the ILUA (s 24EA of the NTA). Note: This dataset contains records of ILUAs that have been publicly notified and/or registered.National Native Title Tribunal © Commonwealth of Australia 2022Downloads and Links:Web ServicesIndigenous Land Use AgreementsMetadata URL:www.nntt.gov.au/assistance/Geospatial/Pages/Metadata.aspx?filename=%20ISO19139/Indigenous%20Land%20Use%20AgreementsArcGIS item:https://nntt.maps.arcgis.com/home/item.html?id=2698667a86e54550b732174a71c3bc57&sublayer=4

Abstract:A representative Aboriginal, Torres Strait Islander body (RATSIB) is a body recognised by the Commonwealth under s 203AD of the NTA to represent native title holders and persons who may hold native title and to consult with Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander persons within a specified area. The statutory functions of RATSIBs are detailed in Part 11 Division 3 of the NTA and include:a) facilitation and assistance to prepare and progress native title applications and negotiation of future act processes;b) certification of native title applications and applications for registration of an ILUA;c) resolution of disputes between constituents;d) notification to persons who hold or may hold native title in the area of notices that relate to land and water in the RATSIB area; ande) agreement making to be a party to ILUAs as appropriate in its specified area.National Native Title Tribunal © Commonwealth of Australia 2022Downloads and Links:Web ServicesRATSIB AreasMetadata URL:www.nntt.gov.au/assistance/Geospatial/Pages/Metadata.aspx?filename=%20ISO19139/RATSIB%20AreasArcGIS item:https://nntt.maps.arcgis.com/home/item.html?id=2698667a86e54550b732174a71c3bc57&sublayer=9

Before an act is done, which may affect native title, a Government party must issue a notice under s 29 of the NTA ("s 29 notice" or "future act notice"). The notice provides details of the proposed act and specifies a date ("notification date") from which persons have either 3 or 4 months to object to the act or become a native title party with rights to negotiate about the doing of the act.

The NNTT holds information on all current and historical future act notices.

Future act notices for acts that are not yet finalised are referred to as "current" and include notices where: (a) less than 6 months has passed from the notification date of the notice; (b) the act is the subject of a "future act application" under s 75 of the NTA; or (c) the act is not an act attracting the expedited procedure (ss 32 and 237 of the NTA).

Abstract Australia’s Indigenous land and forest estate (2024) is a continental spatial dataset of forest and non-forest land over which Indigenous peoples and communities have ownership, management or co-management, or other special rights. This layer displays the area of land and forest that is in the Indigenous managed and Indigenous co-managed attributes. It was developed from multiple data sources, including national, state and territory datasets related to land in which there is an Indigenous interest. The Indigenous land dataset is then combined with forest cover information from the Forests of Australia (2023) dataset. The dataset was compiled by the Australian Bureau of Agricultural and Resource Economics and Sciences (ABARES) for the National Forest Inventory (NFI), a collaborative partnership between the Australian and state and territory governments. The role of the NFI is to collate, integrate and communicate information on Australia's forests. The NFI applies a national classification to state and territory data to allow seamless integration of these datasets. Multiple independent sources of external data are used to fill data gaps and improve the quality of final datasets. The following attributes are applied in this dataset: Indigenous owned: Freehold land or forest that is owned by Indigenous communities, or land and forest for which ownership is vested through other mechanisms. Indigenous managed: Land or forest that is managed by Indigenous communities. Indigenous co-managed: Land or forest that has formal, legally binding agreements in place to include input from Indigenous people in the process of developing and implementing a management plan. Other special rights: Land or forest subject to native title determinations, registered Indigenous Land Use Agreements and legislated special cultural use provisions. In this dataset, the attributes of Indigenous ownership, Indigenous management or co-management, and other special rights are applied separately.

The data was obtained from Department of Agriculture, Fisheries and Forestry - Australian Bureau of Agricultural and Resource Economics and Sciences (ABARES). Lineage Statement The process for describing and reporting separately on each of the individual attributes of Indigenous ownership, Indigenous management or co management, or other special rights for Indigenous peoples and communities is described in Jacobsen et al. (2020). The method and data in this data package represents the information on the Indigenous land estate by the above separate attributes in accordance with Jacobsen et al. (2020) and primarily uses data with information current between 2021 and 2023. Additional data previously sourced for the Indigenous estate dataset that informed Australia’s State of the Forests Report 2018 was also used in this compilation. The Indigenous land dataset is combined (intersected) with forest cover information from the Forests of Australia (2023) dataset (ABARES 2023). The resulting output dataset provides information on the Indigenous estate over forest and non-forest land. Information used to develop the Australia’s Indigenous land and forest estate (2024) dataset was sourced from: * Commonwealth Department of Agriculture, Fisheries and Forestry * Commonwealth Department of Climate Change, Energy, the Environment and Water * Indigenous Land and Sea Corporation * National Native Title Tribunal * NSW Land Registry Services * NSW Department of Climate Change, Energy, the Environment and Water * NT Department of Infrastructure, Planning and Logistics * Queensland Department of Resources * Land Services SA * Tasmania Department of Natural Resources and Environment * Victoria Department of Energy, Environment and Climate Action * WA Department of Biodiversity, Conservation and Attractions * WA Department of Planning, Lands and Heritage * WA Land Information Authority, trading as Landgate Note: The Digital Atlas of Australia downloaded a copy of the source data in November 2024. To ensure that it was suitable to be hosted through ArcGIS Image Server & Image Dedicated, this copy had RGB fields added to the attribute table to generate a colour map. Data Dictionary
