This resource is a map of Custodial geospatial data held by the National Native Title Tribunal (NNTT) consists of those datasets necessary to contribute to the statutory functions associated with Registers and other information, in support of the Native Title Act 1993 (Cth). Whilst these datasets do not form part of the statutory registers, they enable the visualisation and ability to search on these matters.

This resource is a map of Custodial geospatial data held by the National Native Title Register of Native Title Claims is kept by the Native Title Registrar pursuant to s 185 of the NTA to hold information on claimant applications that have satisfied the registration requirements set out in ss 190B and 190C of the NTA. Native title claimants whose applications have been accepted for registration are afforded a number of procedural rights in relation to future acts that affect native title including the right to negotiate, the right to be notified, the right to comment, the right to request consultation, or the right to object as prescribed under the NTA.

This dataset contains the external spatial extent of all Native Title Applications within Western Australia that have been registered with the National Native Title Tribunal (NNTT). This dataset is a spatial depiction of the second stage of the Native Title process. NNTT applies a registration test to all filed/lodged applications and if the application passes that test, the application is captured in this dataset. © Western Australian Land Information Authority (Landgate).

The Schedule of Native Title Determination Applications is kept by the Native Title Registrar pursuant to s 98A(1) of the NTA and contains information on all applications made under s 61 of the NTA, including claimant, non-claimant, compensation applications and applications for a revised determination of native title. The Schedule includes claimant applications that are not on the Register of Native Title Claims because they have: (a) not yet been considered for registration; (b) been considered for registration but have not been accepted; or (c) been amended, but the amended application has not yet been considered for registration.

An approved determination of native title is made by way of an order of the court pursuant to ss 86, 87 or 87A of the NTA or s 23 of the Federal Court of Australia Act 1976 (Cth). The determination order details whether or not native title exists, and, if native title does exist: (a) who holds the native title; (b) the nature and extent of the native title rights and interests; (c) the nature and extent of other interests in the determination area; (d) the relationship between the different rights and interests in the determiation area; and (e) the extent to which native title is held to the exclusion of others (s 225 of the NTA). "Determination outcomes" are extracted from the determination order to broadly categorise the land and waters of the determination area where: (a) native title does not exist; (b) native title exists to the exclusion of all others (exclusive); (c) native title exists but not to the exclusion of all others (non-exclusive); and (d) native title has been extinguished (extinguished). Note: Areas depicted in this dataset as “Native title extinguished” are outside of the area subject to the determination. These areas have generally been mentioned in the determination as either: • having native title extinguished, and/or • being areas that are excluded from the application, and/or • not included in the determination area.

This dataset depicts the boundaries of native title representative body areas. Boundary data has been compiled by NNTT based on reference material sourced from the Department of Families, Housing, Community Services and Indigenous Affairs (FaHCSIA) and spatial data sourced from Geoscience Australia, Department of Natural Resources and Water, Qld, Sinclair Knight Merz Pty Ltd and the National Native Title Tribunal.

This Web Map Service displays select boundaries and associated information layers from the Queensland Native Title Information Management Environment application which is maintained by the Department of Resources and is accessible by Qld Government officers. The information contained in these particular layers are created by the application's users and assists with the native title assessment process. The Commonwealth Native Title Act 1993 and State native title policies and procedures are to be considered when using this Service. The datasets in this service are organised by the following layers: Acquisition (0) Research (1) Conclusion (2)

A "determination of native title" is a decision on whether native title exists in relation to a particular area of land or waters (s 225 of the NTA). Determinations of native title can be made by agreement (consent determination), without opposition (unopposed determination) or following a trial (litigated determination). An "approved determination of native title" is a determination of native title made by the Federal Court of Australia, the High Court of Australia, or a recognised State/Territory body within its jurisdictional limits (s 13 of the NTA). Only approved determinations of native title are recorded on the National Native Title Register (s 193 of the NTA). Note: This dataset also includes representations of determinations of native title that have not yet been entered on the National Native Title Register.
