REASONS FOR JUDGMENT

(Revised from ex tempore reasons)

INTRODUCTION

1    There are three applications before the Court today for determination pursuant to s 225 of the Native Title Act 1993 (Cth) (Native Title Act). WAD 6164 of 1998 known as Wiluna, and WAD 181 of 2012 known as Wiluna #3, are made on behalf of the Wiluna claim group. WAD 248 of 2007 known as Tarlpa, is made on behalf of the Tarlpa claim group, which although differing in composition to the Wiluna claim group has a significant degree of overlap. Together the Wiluna and Tarlpa claim groups comprise the proposed native title holders for the area covered by all three applications.

THE APPLICATIONS

2    The Wiluna application covers approximately 47595.9 square kilometres of land and waters in the northwest goldfields region of Western Australia. The area claimed covers a number of pastoral leases and includes part of the Canning Stock Route from Wells 1 to 5 and areas of unallocated crown land including around Lake Carnegie in the east of the claim area. The application is a combined application of two previously separate applications, WAD 6164 of 1998 and WAD 6227 of 1997. WAD 6164 of 1998 was lodged with the National Native Title Tribunal (the Tribunal) on 28 April 1997 on behalf of the Tullock family over an area of land that covered the township of Wiluna and land and waters that extended to the south of Wiluna. WAD 6227 of 1997 was lodged with the Tribunal on 25 February 1998 on behalf of the Wiluna people in relation to an area of land and waters that overlapped part of the Tullock application. On 15 September 1999 the two applications were combined pursuant to s 64(2) of the Native Title Act, with WAD 6114 of 1998 as the lead application.

3    The Tarlpa application was filed on 14 December 2007 over an area of approximately 2265.26 square kilometres to the south of the township of Wiluna.

4    The Wiluna #3 application was filed on 3 August 2012 over an area of approximately 3596.52 square kilometres for the purpose of securing the application of s 47 of the Native Title Act over the area of land and waters covered by the pastoral lease K601976 (formally 3114/1065) being an area known a Windidda station. Of significance on the date of filing the application, pastoral lease K601976 was held by Windidda Aboriginal Corporation, a registered company whose shareholders are members of the native title claim group for the Wiluna #3 application.

Parties’ agreement to resolve the applications

5    The parties to the applications have reached an agreement through mediation as to the terms of the determination of native title pursuant to ss 87, 87A and 94A of the Native Title Act. In particular the agreement to a determination that native title exists relates to the land and waters covered by the Tarlpa and Wiluna #3 applications pursuant to s 87 of the Native Title Act, and part of the area of land and waters covered by the Wiluna application pursuant to s 87A of the Native Title Act. As to the remainder of the Wiluna application, the parties have agreed to the applicant discontinuing the application with respect to those areas of land and waters which are also covered by Wiluna #3 and WAD 50 of 2010 known as Birriliburu #3. The parties to the Wiluna application have also agreed that the remaining part of the Wiluna application which is covered by WAD 241 of 2004 known as Wiluna #2, will remain on foot to be finalised as part of the resolution of Wiluna #2.

6    In support of the agreement reached the applicant in each application has filed the following documents:

(a)    A Minute of Proposed Consent Determination of Native Title (the Minute) signed by the applicant and each respondent party to the applications;

(b)    Joint submissions of the applicant and State of Western Australia (the State) in support of the Minute;

(c)    Further submissions of the applicant in relation to the Minute relating to the applicant’s legal position on two outstanding legal issues;

(d)    An edited report entitled ‘Wiluna Native Title Claim Connection Report’ by Dr Lee Sackett; and

(e)    An affidavit of Mr Malcolm O’Dell affirmed on 5 July 2013 deposing to the continuing authorisation of the applicant after the death of individual members of the applicant group.

7    In addition the State has filed an affidavit of Mr John Alan Catlin affirmed 3 July 2013 deposing to the basis on which the State agreed to enter into the agreement the subject of the Minute.

8    Of note, the Minute includes an agreement by the parties that the common law holders or the registered native title body corporate may seek a variation of the determination of native title in this matter, as it relates to pastoral improvements, in accordance with ss 13(1) and 13(5) of the Native Title Act in the event that the ruling of this Court in De Rose v South Australia (No 2) (2005) 145 FCR 290 with respect to pastoral improvements is overturned, set aside or otherwise found to be an incorrect legal ruling by the High Court of Australia (High Court) in the context of an appeal to the High Court from the decision of this Court in Brown (on behalf of the Ngarla People) v State of Western Australia (2012) 203 FCR 505. The parties have agreed that in the event of a variation application being made within 12 months of delivery of the High Court decision, each of the parties to that variation application will consent to the variation application being argued on its merits. Upon such variation application being made the agreement does not prevent any party from opposing a variation to the determination on the basis of the merits of such variation application.

9    In relation to determination of a prescribed body corporate pursuant to ss 55, 56 and 57 of the Native Title Act, the Minute includes agreement that within 12 months of the date the determination is made, the common law holders of the native title rights and interests will nominate a prescribed body corporate pursuant to s 56 or s 57 of the Native Title Act. Until the nomination is made the determination of native title will not take effect and in the event that no nomination is made within 12 months of the date the determination is made, or such time as the Court may order, the matter is to be listed for further directions.

Assessment of connection

10    Mr Catlin’s affidavit deposes to the basis on which the State has reached an agreement with the applicants and the other respondents to the terms of a determination of native title rights and interests as reflected in the Minute. In particular Mr Catlin deposes that in 2009 Central Desert Native Title Services Limited on behalf of the applicants provided connection material to the State for assessment against the requirements of its Guidelines for the Provision of Information in Support of Applications for a Determination of Native Title (October 2004) (the State’s Guidelines). Mr Catlin further notes that the applicants and the State agreed to depart from the usual process for connection assessment by adopting a two stage process of an experts’ conference which took place in Perth in May 2009 and an on-country meeting in September 2009. The applicants’ expert anthropologist, Dr Sackett, supplemented the oral discussion from those exchanges with written material.

11    The State’s assessment of the connection material included:

(a)    attendance at the experts’ conference and on-country meeting and consideration of the written material by officers from the Land Approvals and Native Title Unit in the Department of the Premier and Cabinet which has the responsibility for conducting native title negotiations on behalf of the State;

(b)    engaging an expert consultant anthropologist, Dr Scott Cane, to attend both the experts’ conference and on-country meeting and provide written advice; and

(c)    instructing the State Solicitor’s Office to attend both the experts’ conference and on-country meeting and provide written advice.

12    Following completion of the assessment of connection material in May 2010, the State being satisfied that the connection material met the State’s Guidelines, agreed to enter into negotiations towards a determination of native title. The process of reaching agreement as outlined in Mr Catlin’s affidavit was through active mediation convened by the Court during the period of December 2010 to June 2013.

13    The State has relied on the Wiluna connection material and the process of assessment and advice on the material as the basis for entering into the agreement reflected by the Minute.

Connection to Country

14    The joint submissions in support of the Minute and Dr Sackett’s filed report provide the following information regarding the applicants’ connection to country:

(a)    the Wiluna and Wiluna #3 applications take their name from the township of Wiluna and the Tarlpa application takes its name from a significant rockhole known as Tarlpa, in the south of the proposed determination area;

(b)    the applicants are members of the broader Western Desert cultural bloc, the relevant ‘society’ for native title purposes;

(c)    being members of the broader Western Desert cultural bloc, the applicants share a body of law and custom with other Western Desert native title holding groups including shared beliefs, rituals and gathering for ceremonial purposes;

(d)    the applicants’ fundamental belief in the Jukurrpa (‘the Dreaming’ or ‘simply the Law’) is the source of Western Desert law and custom to which the applicants adhere, and governs their religious practices, social rules, systems of land tenure and other aspects of their lives;

(e)    the applicants are an identifiable subset of the wider Western Desert cultural bloc who have rights and responsibilities to the land in the proposed determination area in accordance with Western Desert law and custom that recognises that certain individuals and family groups are associated with particular areas of country within the proposed determination area (with a degree of overlap or ‘shared country’);

(f)    many of the applicants live at Kutkububba, Bondini, Windidda or in the township of Wiluna which are all within the proposed determination area and describe themselves, along with people from other parts of the Western Desert, as Martu;

(g)    the applicants are also able to trace connection to countries north, northeast and east of the proposed determination area and some antecedents and/or senior claimants came to the proposed determination area from more remote traditional Western Desert homelands;

(h)    traditionally the mechanisms for association with areas of land in the Western Desert included being conceived, born, grown up or initiated on country, or by having acquired knowledge of the country through long traditional association, or being descended from a person who had those connections. As a result, landholding groups were not patrilineally-patrilocally structured but rather members of these groups were landholders through their shared associations with and to land, and the groups were open and inclusive so that people had potential access to a number of areas through a variety of means;

(i)    in the eastern part of the proposed determination area, the applicants have an ancestral connection to those who occupied the area at or around the acquisition of British sovereignty;

(j)    in the western part of the proposed determination area, which it is agreed is within the areas traditionally associated with the Western Desert, there is limited ancestral link between the applicants and those who occupied the area at sovereignty. Rather, during the period of about 1925 to 1975 the applicants and their antecedents migrated into the area, mostly from areas to the north east, and over time rights were acquired in that area consistent with Western Desert traditional law and custom; and

(k)    the Western Desert system of law and custom remains vital for the applicants who have an intimate knowledge of the law and custom including an extensive knowledge of Western Desert dreaming tracks and associated sites, stories and songs, and their importance in the context of the broader Western Desert (with associated restrictions on women, young men and children). This includes acceptance by the applicants of responsibility which attaches to acquisition of knowledge both in relation to land and generally and the need to transmit that knowledge to younger generations. This is grounded in a system of kinship under which roles and responsibility are known and acknowledged (including in relation to ritual, marriage, death/burial etc). Appropriate behaviour is expected, and sanctions for breach exist under law and custom. Language is generally spoken by the applicants and traditional names for people and places are widespread and generally known.

Authorisation of the applicants

15    As outlined in the joint submissions, it is necessary to consider the continuing authorisation of the applicants after the sad death of individual members of the applicant groups in the Wiluna and Tarlpa applications. Specifically since the initial authorisation of the applicant in the Wiluna application in 1998, sadly, eight of the 15 persons named as the applicant have died. Similarly regarding the Tarlpa application, since the initial authorisation in 2007 three of the four persons named as the applicant have died. As a consequence the question arises as to whether the remaining named applicants continue to be authorised to deal with all matters arising in relation to the Wiluna and Tarlpa applications pursuant to the Native Title Act, including consenting to the proposed determination.

16    In considering this issue the Court notes the evidence provided in Mr O’Dell’s affidavit and the joint submissions supporting the on-going authorisation in this way:

(a)    the authorisation process, being a decision-making process made in accordance with traditional law and custom, also limits the authority of the representative applicants by requiring that all important decisions are directed by the claim group including the decision to agree to the determination;

(b)    the respective claim groups have continued to direct the representative applicants and the representative applicants have made all decisions in accordance with these directions including following the death of individual applicants; and

(c)    by continuing this process following the death of individual applicants, the members of the respective native claim groups have at every opportunity on the death of a member of the applicant group either formally or informally expressed their authorisation of the surviving members of the applicant group.

17    In Lennon v State of South Australia [2010] FCA 743 Mansfield J in considering an application seeking orders for the removal of the names of two deceased persons from a list of persons named as applicant and held that, where one or more of a number of persons authorised to be the applicant in a claim for the determination of native title has died, generally the remaining persons so authorised may continue to deal with all matters arising under the Native Title Act in relation to the application. The remaining persons so authorised will continue to be ‘the applicant’ for that purpose: Lennon (at [1]). In the absence of evidence to the contrary, authorisation is to be understood in the context of the native title claim group recognising the circumstances of one or other of the authorised persons may change, and that one change may involve the death of one or more of the persons named as applicant : Lennon (at [34]).

18    The same reasoning is relevant to these applications and on that basis and in consideration of the evidence, the Court accepts that the applicant group in the Wiluna and Tarlpa remain authorised and have consented to the proposed determination.

Nomination of Prescribed Body Corporate

19    As noted, the Minute includes agreement that a prescribed body corporate pursuant to ss 55, 56 and 57 of the Native Title Act will be nominated by the common law holders within 12 months of the date the determination is made. Order 4 in the Minute contemplates that until a determination of the prescribed body corporate is made, the determination of native title will not take effect. In the event that no nomination is made within 12 months of the date the determination is made, or such time as the Court may order, the matter is to be listed for further directions.

20    The delay in giving effect to the determination of native title because of the delay in determining the prescribed body corporate is not an ideal situation. However based on the circumstances as reflected in the Minute and the joint submissions in support of the Minute, the Court will make the orders accordingly.

Requirements pursuant to ss 87 and 87A Native Title Act

21    The applicants and the State submit that a determination of native title should be made pursuant to s 87 of the Native Title Act for the Tarlpa and Wiluna #3 applications and pursuant to s 87A of the Native Title Act for part of the area of the Wiluna application.

22    Section 87 of the Native Title Act provides, in effect, that the Court may make a determination of native title by consent over an area covered by a native title application without holding a hearing where:

(a)    the period specified in the notice given under s 66 of the Native Title Act has ended and an agreement has been reached regarding the proceeding or part of the proceeding (s 87(1)(a));

(b)    the terms of an agreement, in writing signed by or on behalf of the parties, are filed with the Court (s 87(1)(b));

(c)    the Court is satisfied that an order in, or consistent with, those terms would be within the power of the Court (s 87(1)(c)); and

(d)    it appears appropriate to the Court to make the orders sought (ss 87(1A) and 87(2)).

23    Section 87A of the Native Title Act provides, in effect, that the Court may make a determination of native title by consent over part of an application area without holding a hearing where:

(a)    the period specified in the notice given under s 66 of the Native Title Act has ended (s 87A(1)(b));

(b)    there is an agreement for a proposed determination of native title in relation to part of an area covered by the native title application (s 87A(1)(b));

(c)    the terms of the proposed determination are in writing, signed by or on behalf of all of the parties required to be parties to the agreement pursuant to s 87A(1)(c) and are filed with the Court (ss 87A(1)(c), 87A(1)(d) and 87A(2));

(d)    the Registrar of the Federal Court has given notice to the other parties to the proceeding who have not become, or are not required to be, parties to the agreement that the proposed determination of native title has been filed with the Court (s 87A(3));

(e)    the Court has taken into account any objection made by the other parties to the proceeding (s 87A(8));

(f)    the Court is satisfied that an order in, or consistent with, those terms would be within the power of the Court (s 87A(4)(a)); and

(g)    it appears appropriate to the Court to make the orders sought (s 87A(4)(b)).

24    Regarding these requirements, pursuant to ss 87(1)(a) and 87A(1)(b) of the Native Title Act the notification period ended for the Tarlpa application on 29 October 2008, for the Wiluna #3 application on 9 July 2013 and for the Wiluna application on 17 August 2000.

25    The Minute reflects the agreement reached for a proposed determination of native title, is filed with the Court, is in writing and is signed by or on behalf of the parties to the applications: ss 87(1)(b), 87A(1)(b)), 87A(1)(c), 87A(1)(d), 87A(2) of the Native Title Act.

26    The agreement for a proposed determination of native title is in relation to the land and waters claimed in the Tarlpa and Wiluna #3 applications and part of the land and waters claimed in respect to Wiluna: ss 87(1)(a) and 87A(1)(b).

27    On 17 July 2013 in compliance with s 87A(3) of the Native Title Act the Registrar gave notice to the other parties to the Wiluna application that the proposed determination of native title for part of the Wiluna application was filed with the Court on 5 July 2013: s 87A(3). No objections were received and therefore it is not necessary for the Court to take into account any objections: s 87A(8).

28    The orders sought in the Minute are consistent with the terms of the agreement pursuant to ss 87(1)(c) and 87A(4)(a) of the Native Title Act for the following reasons:

(a)    the proposed determination complies with ss 94A and 225 of the Native Title Act;

(b)    the applications pursuant to s 251B of the Native Title Act are validly made having been authorised by the applicant group in each application according to decision-making process that, under the traditional laws and customs of each applicant group, authorised the named applicant in each matter to make the applications.

(c)    as required by s 61A(1) of the Native Title Act each application is for a determination of native title in relation to areas for which there is no approved determination of native title; and

(d)    the parties agree that:

(i)    the pre-conditions for the application of s 47 of the Native Title Act have been met in relation to pastoral lease K601976;

(ii)    the pre-conditions for the application of s 47A of the Native Title Act have been met in relation to Reserves 23985, 25670, 32146, 34096, 41801 and 42002 and fee simple interests the subject of CT1356/564, CT1356/565, CT1356/566, CT2052/626, CT2070/454 and CT2095/021; and

(iii)    the pre-conditions for the application of s 47B of the Native Title Act have been met in relation to unallocated Crown land 2, 6, 9, 10, 12, 13, 22, 35, 36 and 37,

with the result that any extinguishment of native title in relation to those areas must be disregarded in accordance with those provisions.

29    Finally in considering whether the orders sought are appropriate to make, the exercise of the Court’s discretion under s 87A of the Native Title Act imports the same principles as those which apply under s 87. As Bennett J noted in Brown (on behalf of the Ngarla People) v State of Western Australia [2007] FCA 1025 (at [22]) the discretion conferred by s 87A and by s 87 must be exercised judicially and within the broad boundaries ascertained by reference to the subject matter, scope and purpose of the Native Title Act.

30    The focus of the Court in considering whether the orders sought are appropriate is on the making of the agreement by the parties. This is because the Native Title Act is designed to encourage parties to take responsibility for resolving proceedings without the need for litigation. When the Court is examining the appropriateness of an agreement, it is not required to examine whether the agreement is grounded on a factual basis which would satisfy the Court at a hearing of the application. Rather the primary consideration of the Court is to determine whether there is an agreement and whether it was freely entered into on an informed basis: Hughes (on behalf of the Eastern Guruma People) v State of Western Australia [2007] FCA 365 (at [9]) per Bennett J.

31    Therefore it is not necessary for the Court to embark on its own full inquiry of the merits of the claim made in the application to be satisfied that the orders sought are supportable and in accordance with the law: Cox on behalf of the Yungngora People v State of Western Australia [2007] FCA 588 (at [3]) per French J, as his Honour then was. However the Court may consider evidence for the limited purpose of being satisfied that the State is acting in good faith and rationally: Munn (for and on behalf of the Gunggari People) v Queensland (2001) 115 FCR 109 (at [29]-[30]) per Emmett J.

32    In relation to the applications, all parties have been legally represented throughout the mediation process. In particular the State has played an active role in the negotiation of the consent determination and the State, acting on behalf of the community generally, having regard to the requirements of the Native Title Act and through a rigorous and detailed assessment process of the connection material, has satisfied itself that the determination is justified in all the circumstances. In addition following the assessment process, mediation was convened by Registrars of the Court during the period of December 2010 to June 2013 which effectively assisted the parties reaching agreement.

33    In addition the State has conducted searches of land tenure, mining and petroleum registries to determine the extent of ‘other interests’ within the proposed determination area, and those interests are included in the proposed determination, as outlined in Schedule 5 to the Minute.

34    There are no other applications before the Court relating to native title determination applications that cover any part of the proposed determination area which would otherwise require orders to be made under s 67(1) of the Native Title Act.

35    In light of the above, the Court is satisfied, pursuant to s 87 of the Native Title Act in relation to the Tarlpa and Wiluna #3 applications and s 87A of the Native Title Act in relation to part of the Wiluna application, that it is appropriate to make the orders sought by the parties in the Minute.

36    The Court is satisfied that the agreement reached by the parties as reflected in the Minute has been freely entered into on an informed basis. In particular the State has played an active role in the negotiation of the proposed consent determination in mediation and has acted in good faith and rationally.

CONCLUSION

37    By signing the Minute all other parties to the proceeding have indicated their agreement and their involvement is not to be forgotten. In the circumstances the Court considers it appropriate to make the determination of native title in the terms proposed.

38    The Native Title Act encourages the resolution by agreement of applications for determinations of native title. In these applications the agreement reached has been assisted by the Tribunal and by the mediation convened by Registrars of the Court. The applicants, the State, the non-State respondent parties, legal representatives and all those involved in assisting resolve these proceedings by agreement are to be congratulated.

39    In making a determination of native title in the terms set out in the Minute, the Court is recognising what has always existed. Additionally, the nature of the determination recognises not just the applicants’ rights but how they operate in relation to other interests, including those of the respondents with whom agreement has been reached.

40    For those reasons the following orders are made in recognition that native title exists in accordance with the traditional laws and customs of the applicants:

1.    Any part of the application for a determination of native title in WAD 6164 of 1998 that overlaps the native title application in WAD 50 of 2010 be discontinued and no determination is made in respect of that part.

2.    Any part of the application for a determination of native title in WAD 6164 of 1998 that overlaps the native title application in WAD 181 of 2012 be discontinued.

3.    In relation to the Determination Area, there be a determination of native title in part of the area covered by WAD 6164 of 1998 and a determination of native title in the whole of the area covered by WAD 248 of 2007 and WAD 181 of 2012 in terms of the Determination at Attachment “A” to these orders. The determination is to take effect immediately upon the making of a determination under section 56(1) or 57(2) of the Native Title Act 1993 (Cth) as the case may be.

4.    Within 12 months of the date upon which these orders are made, a representative of the common law holders of the native title rights and interests shall indicate whether they intend to have the native title rights and interests held in trust and, if so, by whom. They are invited to do so by:

(a)    nominating in writing to the Federal Court a prescribed body corporate to be trustee of the native title rights and interests; and

(b)    including within the nomination the written consent of the body corporate.

5.    If a prescribed body corporate is nominated in accordance with order 4, it will hold the native title rights and interests described in order 3 in trust for the common law holders of the native title rights and interests.

6.    In the event that there is no nomination within the time specified in order 4, or such later time as the Court may order, the matter is to be listed for further directions.

7.    There be no order as to costs.

I certify that the preceding forty (40) numbered paragraph is a true copy of the Reasons for Judgment herein of the Honourable Justice McKerracher.

ATTACHMENT “a”

determination

THE COURT ORDERS AND DETERMINES THAT:

Existence of native title (s 225)

1.    Native title exists in relation to the whole of the Determination Area identified in Part 1 of Schedule 1, subject to the exclusions in Part 3 of Schedule 1 (Determination Area).

2.    Native title does not exist in the areas described in Part 2 of Schedule 1.

Native title holders (s 225(a))

3.    The native title is held by the persons described in Schedule 2 (native title holders).

The nature and extent of native title rights and interests (s 225(b); s 225(e))

4.    Subject to Orders 7 to 9, the nature and extent of the native title rights and interests in relation to each part of the Determination Area referred to in Schedule 3 [being areas where there has been no extinguishment of native title or areas where any extinguishment must be disregarded] is the right of possession, occupation, use and enjoyment of that part as against the whole world.

5.    Subject to Orders 6 to 9, the nature and extent of the native title rights and interests in relation to each part of the Determination Area referred to in Schedule 4 [being areas where the native title right of possession, occupation, use and enjoyment is not available at law including by reason of partial extinguishment] are the following rights or interests:

(a)    the right to access, to remain in and to use that part;

(b)    the right to take and use resources in that part; and

(c)    the right to have access to, maintain and protect places, and areas and objects of importance on or in that part.

Qualifications on native title rights and interests (s 225(b); s 225(e))

6.    The native title rights and interests referred to in Order 5 do not confer:

(a)    possession, occupation, use and enjoyment of those parts of the Determination Area on the native title holders to the exclusion of all others; nor

(b)    a right to control access to, or use of, those parts of the Determination Area.

7.    The native title rights and interests are exercisable in accordance with and subject to the:

(a)    traditional laws and customs of the native title holders; and

(b)    laws of the State and the Commonwealth, including the common law.

8.    For the avoidance of doubt:

(a)    the nature and extent of native title rights and interests in relation to water in any watercourse, wetland or underground water source as is defined in the Rights in Water and Irrigation Act 1914 (WA) as at the date of this determination is the non-exclusive right to take, use and enjoy that water; and

(b)    the native title right to take resources in relation to the Determination Area recognised by this determination is a right in native title holders to take resources for the purpose of satisfying their personal, domestic or non-commercial communal needs (including social, cultural, religious, spiritual and ceremonial needs and including by way of sharing and exchange).

9.    Notwithstanding anything in this Determination, there are no native title rights and interests in the Determination Area in or in relation to:

(a)    minerals as defined in the Mining Act 1904 (WA) (repealed) and the Mining Act 1978 (WA); or

(b)    petroleum as defined in the Petroleum Act 1936 (WA) (repealed) and in the Petroleum and Geothermal Resources Energy Act 1967 (WA); or

(c)    geothermal energy resources and geothermal energy as defined in the Petroleum and Geothermal Energy Resources Act 1967 (WA).

The nature and extent of any other interests (s 225(c))

10.    The nature and extent of other rights and interests in relation to the Determination Area are those set out in Schedule 5 (other interests).

Relationship between native title rights and other interests (s 225(d))

11.    Except as otherwise provided for by law, the relationship between the native title rights and interests and the other interests is as follows:

(a)    the Determination does not affect the validity of those other interests;

(b)    to the extent of any inconsistency between the other interests and the continued existence, enjoyment or exercise of the native title rights and interests, the native title rights and interests continue to exist in their entirety, but the native title rights and interests have no effect in relation to the other interests to the extent of the inconsistency during the currency of the other interests; and

(c)    otherwise the other interests co-exist with the native title rights and interests and, for the avoidance of doubt, the doing of an activity required or permitted under those interests prevails over the native title rights and interests and their exercise, but does not extinguish them.

12.    Without affecting the operation of paragraph 11 above, the native title holders and the holders of the pastoral leases 3114/654 (Granite Peak), 3114/960 (Millrose), 3114/1049 (Cunyu), 3114/1066 (Prenti Downs), 3114/1067 (Yelma), 3114/1068 (Wongawol), 3114/1069 (Niminga), 3114/1070 (Carnegie) and 3114/1131 (Paroo) (being the current holders of an other interest for the purposes of the Determination) have:

(a)    agreed in writing to the principles which will apply to the exercise of their co-existing rights, subject to any variation as may be agreed from time to time;

(b)    reproduced those principles such as they are agreed as at the date of the Determination in Schedule 6; and

(c)    agreed that any rights conferred by those principles do not form part of this determination made for the purposes of sections 94A and 225 of the Native Title Act.

Liberty to apply

13.    The parties have liberty to apply for the following purposes:

(a)    to establish the precise location of the boundaries of land on which the improvements referred to in Schedule 1, Part 2 of this Determination have been constructed and any adjacent land or waters the exclusive use of which is necessary for the enjoyment of the improvements;

(b)    to establish whether any of the improvements referred to at Schedule 1, Part 2 of this Determination have been constructed unlawfully in breach of the terms of the relevant pastoral lease; and

(c)    to establish the precise location of the public works and adjacent land and waters identified in relation to any part or parts of the Determination Area referred to in Schedule 1, Part 3 of this Determination.

Areas to which ss 47, 47A and 47B of the Native Title Act apply

14.    For the avoidance of doubt, sections 47, 47A and 47B of the Native Title Act respectively apply to the areas described in Schedule 8.

Interpretation

15.    In the event of an inconsistency between the written description of areas in the Schedules and the areas depicted on the Maps in Schedule 7, the written descriptions shall prevail.

16.    In this Determination, unless the contrary intention appears:

land and waters respectively have the same meanings as in the Native Title Act;

resources means flora, fauna, water and other natural resources; and

State means the State of Western Australia.
