If the Commonwealth is a negotiating party for an ILUA, it will apply the Indigenous Land Use Agreement Policy Principles (the ILUA Policy Principles). The scope of these agreements can be wide and can include access to land, the relationship between native title rights and the rights of other land users, activities such as mining or exploration, or be part of the resolution of a native title claim. Indigenous land use agreements (ILUAs) are voluntary agreements made between governments or land users with native title groups about the use and management of land and waters. The Native Title Act 1993 allows states and territories to legislate alternatives to the ‘right to negotiate’ or to seek an exemption from the ‘right to negotiate’ in specific circumstances. Most relevant in the resources sector is the 'right to negotiate' given to native title parties. The procedures differ depending on the type of future act. The future acts regime in the Native Title Act 1993 establishes procedures to be followed so that the future act can be validly done. Future acts can include the making, amendment or repeal of legislation, and the grant or renewal of licences and permits, for example mining and exploration licences or permits. Proposed actions or developments that affect native title are classed as 'future acts' under the Native Title Act 1993.įuture acts include acts done after 1 January 1994 (the date of the commencement of the Native Title Act 1993) that affect native title.
