In this matter the Court ordered that there be a consent determination of native title in favour of the Andado, Pmere Ulperre, New Crown and Therreyererte family groups, not to be held in trust. The determination area covers approximately 18,848km2 of land in the south-eastern region of the Northern Territory. The parties joined in an application for orders by consent under s 87 of the Native Title Act 1993 (Cth) (NTA), for the resolution of the whole of the native title claim.
The area comprises the estates associated with four family groups: Andado (Allen Family), Pmere Ulperre (Doolan (south) Family), New Crown (Doolan (west) Family) and Therreyererte (Hayes Family). There were six respondents to the application, the first of which was the Northern Territory of Australia. The Court found that the procedural requirements of s 87(1)(a)(i) and s 87(1)(b) NTA were met.
The Tyatyekwenhe Aboriginal Corporation was nominated as the prescribed body corporate.
