  • NYIYAPARLI CLAIM DESCRIPTION Dr Bill Day Tom Price September 3, 2003
    NYIYAPARLI CLAIM DESCRIPTION Dr Bill Day Tom Price September 3, 2003 1. Introduction The Nyiyaparli claim (WAG6280/98; WC99/004) covers an area of about 40,250 square kilometres in the East Pilbara. A large area taking in a number of stations, reserves and land tenures are within the claim area: - Kumarina - Pt. Bulloo Downs - Weelarrana - Sylvania - Ethel Creek - Walagunya (ALT, held by Jigalong) - Roy Hill - Marillana - Balfour Downs - Mt. Divide - Pt. Wandanya - Robertson Range Most of these leases are held privately. The exceptions are: - Marillana, Sylvania and Ethel Creek, held by BHP; - Walagunya, held by the ALT, sub-leased to Jigalong Community; - Robertson Range, held by Jigalong Community; - Mt. Divide, held by the Irrangadji Group Association. Most of the Jigalong reserve lands (including Jigalong and Camp 61) are within the claim area, and subject to further discussions between the Nyiyaparli group and the Jigalong Council about future management in light of the State Government’s Aboriginal reserve transfer program. The Nyiyaparli claim area also includes non-exclusive tenures within the town of Newman, and three substantial parcels of UCL in the west, central and southeast parts of the area. The Nyiyaparli claim is represented by the PNTS, as are the neighbouring Palyku, Martu Idja Banyjima, and IBN claims. The Martu claim (WAG6110/98; WC96/078), represented by the Ngaanyatjarra Council NTRB, adjoins much of the eastern boundary of the Nyiyaparli claim area. The Nhanuwongka Wajarri and Ngarlawanga determination area abuts parts of the claim area in the southwest and, in the north, there is a substantial area of overlap with the Nyamal claim over the area of Mt.
