Native Title Determinaion

Full description

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).
Provides a spatial representation of native title matters, related to custodial statutory functions associated with Registers in support of the Native Title Act 1993.

Before an act is done, which may affect native title, a Government party must issue a notice under s 29 of the NTA ("s 29 notice" or "future act notice"). The notice provides details of the proposed act and specifies a date ("notification date") from which persons have either 3 or 4 months to object to the act or become a native title party with rights to negotiate about the doing of the act. The NNTT holds information on all current and historical future act notices. Future act notices for acts that are not yet finalised are referred to as "current" and include notices where: (a) less than 6 months has passed from the notification date of the notice; (b) the act is the subject of a "future act application" under s 75 of the NTA; or (c) the act is not an act attracting the expedited procedure (ss 32 and 237 of the NTA).

Purpose
This data and sets of maps was generate as inputs to the Futures of Seafood study State of Play (Work Package 1).Futures of Seafood delivers Australia's first comprehensive analysis of how intensifying ocean demands will reshape seafood production. This landmark 18-month study examines the cumulative impacts of competing ocean uses and policy decisions on the seafood sector. By uniting industry expertise with research capabilities, it creates a single source of truth about challenges and opportunities facing Australian seafood. Through spatial mapping, economic modeling, and social impact assessment, it provides decision-makers with essential insights for managing multiple ocean industries and ensures sustainable seafood production amid changing ocean access.
