(a-b) The State Government works in partnership with the representatives of the Noongar people to select land that should be prioritised for inclusion in the Noongar Land Estate (NLE). All parcels of unallocated Crown land and unmanaged reserves within the boundaries of the six Indigenous Land Use Agreements (ILUAs) that comprise the South West Native Title Settlement are potentially eligible for inclusion in the NLE.
(c-d) Reflective of the Aboriginal people’s right to self-determination, the NLE will provide the Noongar people with a significant asset to be developed in line with Noongar cultural, social and economic aspirations, for the benefit of generations to come.
Local governments are consulted in accordance with the relevant clauses of the Noongar Land Base Strategy as part of the ILUAs, and consistent with the Land Administration Act 1997 . As the NLE will be managed and developed in line with the relevant State and local government statutory and policy framework, local governments retain the standard decision-making powers at the point of land development.
