In this matter, White J made orders by consent recognising the native title rights and interests of the Wubalawun Group over the approximately 1km2 of land and waters comprising the Town of Larrimah, as gazetted on 31 October 1984. The application was filed in 2011. The Northern Territory is the sole respondent to the proceedings.
The native title rights and interests of the members of the Wubalawun group in relation to the area are the rights to access it; take for any purpose resources; and protect places, areas and things of traditional significance.
His Honour was satisfied that it is appropriate in this case to make the determination by consent with respect to native title over the area of the Town of Larrimah. White J ordered that the applicant is to nominate a prescribed body corporate to hold the rights and interests on trust for the native title holders.
