Negotiating ILUAs in South Australia

In South Australia, Native Title has been extinguished through past Acts in less than 20% of the land and waters. This means that over a large portion of the State native title issues must be addressed.

This does not mean that there needs to be ongoing uncertainty or costly legal arguments. These issues can be addressed in a timely and cost effective manner through building cooperative relationships instead of adversarial relationships. ILUAs can acknowledge the different rights and interests that parties have in land and water, and can clarify the relationship between them and the manner of their exercise, in a way that respectfully meets the needs of all.

We can work together. It is better for our communities, and it is better for business.

In South Australia, the SA Government, the Aboriginal Legal Rights Movement (ALRM), SA Farmers Federation (SAFF), SA Chamber of Mines and Energy (SACOME), SA Seafood Council, SA Fishing Industry Council (SAFIC) and the Local Government Association (LGA) have been meeting together to consider a coordinated approach to negotiating ILUAs across the State.

This coordinated approach is now outlined in the SA ILUA Statewide Negotiations Strategic Plan 2005-2009.
