  • CHAPTER 9 LAND TENURE Introduction 9.1 the Most
    CHAPTER 9 LAND TENURE Introduction 9.1 The most fundamental requirement to establish a permanent homeland centre equipped with facilities and services is secure land tenure. Department of Aboriginal Affairs Guidelines on outstations state that homeland centres should not be provided with fixed assets unless the group has title to the site or the formal consent of the owner. If there are traditional owners of the site, their consent should also be obtained and if the proposed site is on private land some form of tenure should be negotiated or, failing that, the consent of the landholder obtained. Given the importance of obtaining secure land tenure, one of the primary goals of the Department of Aboriginal Affairs' guidelines for homeland communities is to secure title to land in terms of land rights and excisions policies. (See Appendix 6) The Committee outlines the current position in the States and Northern Territory in relation to land tenure of homeland communities. South Australia 9.2 The Department of Aboriginal Affairs stated that most homeland centres in South Australia are on Aboriginal land and so secure tenure is not a problem. According to figures provided by the Department of Aboriginal Affairs all 50 outstations in South 163 Australia had secure tenure. Homeland centres in these areas have benefited from the Pitjantjatjara Land Rights Act 1981. 9.3 However, the Department's figures do not fully represent the situation of land tenure for homeland centres in South Australia. For example, in the Pitjantjatjara homelands in South Australia there is a strong desire on the part of many residents of Indulkana to establish homeland centres on Granite Downs, a non-Aboriginal leased pastoral property.

CPC is Australia’s largest private beef producer operating a portfolio of 20 stations, with capacity for more than 380,000 cattle, across 6.0 million hectares that is owned or leased by the company. CPC also holds an 80 per cent interest in a joint venture that owns and operates two feedlots in Indonesia. CPC is owned by Terra Firma, one of Europe’s leading private equity firms that acquired the business in 2009. CPC operates through the industry’s four main supply chains: live exports into Asia, processed product for export, processed product to supply the domestic market and we also supply cattle to the Australian feedlot industry. Our company sees significant opportunities to increase beef production in Australia in response to the rising demand for protein from Asia. We are keenly interested in building on our already significant investment if the right policy settings are in place to encourage sustainable development and exploit these emerging markets.

    Plate 8 - House Roof Hill: view to hill across proposed infrastructure area 5.4 Potential impacts, predicted outcome and mitigation The proposed Carlton Plain Stage 1 development is not expected to impact substantially on the landform that is House Roof Hill, or the nearby ‘Shed Roof Hill’. Drainage from House Roof Hill will be managed via hillside drains. Minimal clearing of foothill vegetation will be required, given the current state, as shown in Plate 8. Other values, such as terrestrial fauna, are discussed later in this document. Aboriginal heritage assessment and clearance has been provided by Traditional Owners with the support of MG Corporation (June 2017). No landform impacts on House Roof Hill are anticipated.

  • Allocating for the Future of the Lower Ord River: Balancing Ecological, Social, Cultural, and Consumptive Water Requirements Andrew Storey and Kerry Trayler 1
    C H A P T E R 12 Allocating for the Future of the Lower Ord River: Balancing Ecological, Social, Cultural, and Consumptive Water Requirements Andrew Storey and Kerry Trayler 1 INTRODUCTION !e Ord River, in the east Kimberley region of Western Australia, is one of the state’s major river systems. It is around 650 kilometres long, with a catchment area of 46,100 square kilometres, and drains into the Cambridge Gulf near Wyndham (figure 12.1). Currently, it is impounded by two dams, which provide water for irrigated agriculture and for the generation of hydroelectric power. !ere are plans to more than double the area under irrigation, which could triple water demand. If this increased demand were to be met, it would mean a reduction in the amount of water for the environment. However, under current state and federal policy, the environment is considered a legitimate user of water, and must be allocated an appropriate amount of the available water resource to ensure identified and agreed ecological goals are met and managed. !e Water and Rivers Commission (now Department of Environ- ment — see chapter 11, on the institutional framework for managing water resources in Western Australia) has responsibility, on behalf of the community, to share equitably the water resources of the Ord River between ecological needs, social expectations, and demands to consume water for economic benefit.

  • Birds of the Kimberley Division, Western Australia
    WESTERN AUSTRALIAN MUSEUM SPECIAL PUBLICATION No.ll Birds of the Kimberley Division, Western Australia by G.M. Slorr Perth 1980 World List Abbreviation: Spec. PubIs West. Aust. Mus. ISBN 0724481389 ISSN 0083 873X Cover: A Comb-crested Jacana drawn by Gaye Roberts. Published by the Western Australian Museum, Francis Street, Perth 6000, Western Australia. Phone 328 4411. 4 TABLE OF CONTENTS Page Introduction 7 List of Birds .................................... .. 9 Gazetteer ................................. .. 101 Index 105 5 INTRODUCTION Serventy and Whittell's excellent Birds of Western Australia (first published in 1948) excluded the many species found in Western Australia only in the Kimberley Division. The far north of the State thus remained the last terra incognita in Australia. The present paper fills this gap by providing informa­ tion on the distribution, ecological status, relative abundance, habitat preferences, movements and breeding season of Kimberley birds. Coverage is much the same as in my List of Northern Territory birds (1967, Spec. PubIs West. Aust. Mus. no. 4), List of Queensland birds (1973, Spec. PubIs West. Aust. Mus. no. 5) and Birds of the Northern Territory (1977, Spec. PubIs West. Aust. Mus. no. 7). An innovation is data on clutch size. The area covered by this paper is the Kimberley Land Division (Le. that part of Western Australia north of lat. 19°30'S) and the seas and islands of the adjacent continental shelf, including specks of land, such as Ashmore Reef, that are administered by the Commonwealth of Australia. Distribution is often given in climatic as well as geographic terms by referring to the subhumid zone (mean annual rainfall 100-150 cm), semiarid zone (50-100 cm) or arid zone (less than 50 cm).

    National Gallery of Australia Emerging Elders Room sheets Malaluba GUMANA Dhalwangu/Nungburundi peoples born 1952, Gangan, North East Arnhem Land, Northern Territory Garrimala [Hollow log] 2006, Yirrkala, North East Arnhem Land, Northern Territory natural earth pigments on wood The Rotary Collection of Australian Art Fund 2007, in memory of Philip McElligott AM, MBA, and in celebration of the National Gallery of Australia's 25th Anniversary 2007.1276 This larrakitj, painted with a very fine exponent of marwatthe (cross hatching also known as rarrk) technique using a ‘hair brush’. GUMANA mainly paints her mother’s Galpu clan designs of dhatam (waterlily), djari (rainbow), djayku (filesnake) and wititj (olive python). Born in 1952, Malaluba Gumana dedicates most of her artworks to portraying her mother Marratj Gurruwiwi’s Galpu clan designs of dhatam (waterlilly), djari (rainbow), djaykun (filesnake) and wititj (olive python). Malaluba demonstrates a very fine ‘marwat’, a cross hatching technique that utilises a fine hairbrush, to paint on bark and memorial poles. In 2006, her local Art Centre encouraged her to produce larger and more complex works to further explore her spontaneous and fluid hand, an opportunity she wholeheartedly embraced. Story: Malaluba's paintings represent Garrimala, a billabong near where she lives, the Dhawau clan homeland at Gaga. It is a sacred site for the artists’ mother’s Galpu clan. Wititj is the all powerful rainbow serpent (olive python) that travelled through Galpu clan lands and on further, during the days of early times called Waarr. Djayku the Javanese filesnake is a companion and possibly alternate incarnation of Wititj, living in amongst the Dhatam, or waterlilies, causing ripples and rainbows (Djari) on the surface of the water (one reference in the cross hatch).
