WHAT IS THE ILUA ABOUT:
There are two parties to the ILUA:
• Party 1: GMYPPBC for the GMY native title holders.
• Party 2: GMYPPBC as a Landholder under the Aboriginal Land Act 1991 (ALA).
The ILUA area is all the land within the 2 land parcels held by GMYPPBC as ALA freehold at Yarrabah: Lot 308 SP2780874 + Lot 2 SP283822. **See Map of ILUA Area outlined on page 2 of this notice.
The ILUA contains a native title process and a separate Aboriginal cultural heritage process that apply to activities by GMYPPBC in the ILUA area. The ILUA does not address any other legal compliance requirement for the ILUA area.
The native title process: (a) consent is given to low native title impact activities, (b) there must be consultation detailed in the ILUA about high native title impact activities before these can commence, and (c) consent is given to particular future acts detailed in the ILUA (relating to the GMYPPBC Bloomis Point Precinct Project and Masterplan Project) subject to any related conditions included in the ILUA.
The Aboriginal cultural heritage process: (a) there are no requirements for low cultural heritage impact activities; and (b) a clearance procedure detailed in the ILUA must be completed before a high cultural heritage impact activity can commence.
* through funding provided by the Queensland State Government.
