(a) The Land Development project was completed in 2012.
(b) - (e) The Aboriginal Lands Trust facilitated a joint venture for the redevelopment of a light industrial precinct between commercial partners and the Noongar Charitable Trust through the transfer of three Aboriginal Lands Trust held Freehold lots on Sydney Road, Gnangara, to the Noongar Charitable Trust, on behalf of the Noongar Native Title claimants.
The successful transfer of the three Gnangara lots will allow for the profits from the development to be held in trust for the future benefit of the Noongar people. The joint venture and development process will provide employment and training opportunities for Noongar people as well as economic and social benefits for the broader Noongar community.
Additionally, the project will facilitate the formalisation of the existing Aboriginal cemetery, the retention of the Bush Forever area, the lease of one lot to the Nyoongah Community Aboriginal Corporation and the construction of two houses to relocate existing residents.
