(a) - (f) The 'Living on Our Lands' report was commissioned by the Aboriginal Lands Trust and the Department of Aboriginal Affairs. The project was completed in 2012 and the Final Report was provided to the Aboriginal Lands Trust and Department of Aboriginal Affairs.
The report was commissioned to assist in identifying and assessing the range of land tenure arrangements on the Aboriginal Lands Trust estate and to provide guidance as to how the estate can be best used to increase economic development, provide greater home ownership opportunities and improve asset management and service delivery.
The Final Report and case studies provided:
• a detailed examination of land tenure arrangements on the Aboriginal Lands Trust  estate; and
• comprehensive profiles and land tenure options for identified locations including  portions of the Aboriginal Lands Trust estate in Broome, the Dampier Peninsula,  Halls Creek and Kununurra.
The Aboriginal Lands Trust continues to drive divestment of the Aboriginal Lands Trust Estate with the support of policy developed by the Department of Aboriginal Affairs, the Interagency Land Holdings Taskforce, and the Aboriginal Affairs Coordinating Committee. The report will continue to be used to assist with this process.
