The high standard of work provided by YMBBMAC has led to significant achievements for claimants. 2. Strategically, the organisation aims to build relationships in order to improve outcomes for its clients. Illustrating this, YMBBMAC is a member of the WA Chamber of Minerals and Energy and the WA Chamber of Commerce and Industry. 3. Working groups provide a system of decision-making that is effective, resilient, and has a high degree of community ownership. 4. Funding continues to limit the potential of the organisation. YMBBMAC can improve its performance and achieve agreed outcomes, with additional funding. 5. High level of activity in the Pilbara is demanding considerable resources from the organisation. In order to meet fully the demands of this historic expansion, YMBBMAC requires additional funding. ABOUT YMBBMAC The Yamatji Marlpa Barna Baba Maaja Aboriginal Corporation (YMBBMAC) is the native title representative body (NTRB) for native title claims in the Pilbara, Murchison and Gascoyne representative areas of Western Australia. WORKING GROUPS The use of working groups has set YMBBMAC apart in terms of its ability to operate efficiently, its support from its membership and its ability to produce successful, lasting agreements.

  • The Burrup Agreement: a Case Study in Future Act Negotiation
    The Burrup Agreement: a case study in future act negotiation by Frances Flanagan 1 1. Introduction The agreement for the acquisition of native title over areas of land on and around the Burrup Peninsula near Karratha in Western Australia is one of the most comprehensive of its kind. The Pilbara Native Title Service led the negotiations with the State of Western Australia in highly challenging circumstances: there were three overlapping and part-heard native title claims, the acquisition concerned an area of world-renowned heritage significance, the State party was a newly-elected Labor government and there were five proponent companies proposing multi-billion dollar investments. One of the first things that my colleagues at the Land Council and I did upon realising that we would be responsible for assisting in negotiations of such magnitude and complexity was to reach for a copy of Ciaran O'Faircheallaigh's paper on negotiating major project agreements using the 'Cape York Model.'2 Our immediate reaction was gratitude towards Professor O'Faircheallaigh for his excellent digestion of the issues and his articulation of a comprehensive model for pursuing major negotiated agreements. Our second reaction was grave concern: we clearly did not have the resources, time or in-house expertise to follow the Cape York Model. 3 What follows is a brief summary of the strategic and logistical preparation the Land Council undertook prior to the negotiations that enabled us to broker a comprehensive agreement with the State and, at the same time, increase the expertise and skills of Land Council staff, improve the 1 Frances Flanagan has been a Legal Officer with the Yamatji Marlpa Sana Baba Maaja Aboriginal Corporation for three years.

MR P.C. TINLEY (Willagee) [2.50 pm]: I rise to conclude my brief contribution on the historic Constitution Amendment (Recognition of Aboriginal People) Bill 2015. Without rehashing it, for the benefit of anybody who was not in the chamber at the time I characterised the Aboriginal contribution to military service in Western Australia and Australia as being a significant contribution to progressing the identity of both Aboriginal people and non-Aboriginal people in creating a unified culture. I also noted with some gratitude that symbolism is important. The opening quote that I used was “If you change the way you look at things, the things you look at will change.” I believe that we have progressed even in the time of this Parliament to being on the cusp of delivering a significant substantive arrangement beyond symbolism for the Indigenous land use agreements with the Noongar people at the National Native Title Tribunal. We look forward to making a substantive contribution to reconciliation beyond just the symbolism.

NACC Education Resource | Sharing Yamaji Knowledge 2 ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS THE YAMAJI PEOPLE This project acknowledges the Yamaji1 people and recognises Aboriginal people as Australia’s first natural resource managers. The Yamaji people have developed, refined and employed knowledge of the natural environment for tens of thousands of years, and this knowledge has been passed down from generation to generation. This traditional ecological knowledge is extremely valuable in enhancing the ways we care for our environment. Yamaji community members have generously shared their knowledge in the development of this resource, so that school-aged students will better understand Aboriginal culture, the environment and the importance of caring for it. Without the valuable contribution of the Yamaji community, this project would not have been possible. We thank them for sharing their time and expertise for this project.
