  • Mulan Layout Plan 2 Draft Version 6 Background Report
    Mulan Layout Plan 2 Background Report Ratified Draft Version Control: Version 1 - June 2009 Version 2 - November 2009 Version 3 - March 2010 Version 4 - April 2013 Version 5 - August 2013 Version 6 - July 2020 MULAN LAYOUT PLAN 2 Layout Plan 2 (LP2) was prepared during 2008 and 2009 in partnership with the Mulan resident community and in consultation with relevant government agencies and authorities by the former Department of Planning. Following completion of draft LP2, the Mulan resident community representatives declined to endorse LP2. SPP3.2 provides that if a resident community declines to endorse a Layout Plan, the plan may not be endorsed by any other party. State agencies and authorities require a validated spatial framework for Mulan to ensure that services are provided efficiently. To provide this, the Western Australian Planning Commission (WAPC) ratified Version 1 of Mulan Layout Plan 2 (LP2) on 9 June 2009. During the period November 2009 until August 2013 the WAPC endorsed 4 further versions of LP2. The endorsed versions are listed in part 7 of this report. The WAPC endorsed Version 6 of LP2 in July 2020. Version 6 incorporates administrative changes to the map-set and includes the addition of this report. LP2 remains a draft until such time as it has been endorsed by the resident community and other relevant parties, including the WAPC. As part of the machinery of government (MOG) process, a new department incorporating the portfolios of Planning, Lands, Heritage and Aboriginal lands and heritage was established on 1st of July 2017 with a new department title, Department of Planning, Lands and Heritage.

AIATSIS would recommend the focus of this senate inquiry includes: consultation with traditional owner groups; native title corporations administering native title settlements and agreements bodies; Native Title Representative Bodies (NTRBs); Native Title Service Providers (NTSPs) and Aboriginal Land Councils: all of whom exercise responsibility for the management of the Indigenous Estate and large tracts of the National Reserve System. This critical consultation and engagement is to ensure that traditional knowledge and management is acknowledged as being an essential element in threatened species recovery, management and conservation. AIATSIS submits that acknowledging the totality of the Indigenous Estate and its interconnection with the National Reserve System is essential in terms of addressing the faunal extinction crisis across the content. Caring for Country programs, Indigenous Land and Sea Management Programs (ILSMPs) and Indigenous Protected Areas (IPAs) are achieving great success in terms of threatened species recovery and the eradication of feral pests and species. Please find attached the AIATSIS submission which is based upon 26 years of research and practice by AIATSIS in Indigenous cultural heritage and native title law.

    ANNUAL REPORT 2010-2011 The Kimberley Land Council is the Native Title Representative Body for the Traditional Owners of the Kimberley region. We represent 29 native title claim groups across the Kimberley. Our organisation was established by Aboriginal people for Ab- original people and was formed during the political upheaval of the great Noonkanbah battle and the struggle for land rights. Our representative area covers 412,451 square kilometres and the KLC has worked hard to deliver native title to our members. The Kimberley is now 65 per cent determined native title land. We stand by our vision to Look after country, Get back country and Get control of our future. As a result, our focus as a grass-roots community organisation, is to work with ourTraditional Owners in the areas of native title, agreement making and land and sea management.

The project end date of June 2016 is getting close and as we enter the last 17 months we look forward to finalizing the resource assessment and other investigations and support tools, and showcasing these at the 2015 regional workshop. The DAFWA project team presented a seminar update at the end of last year to Department and Industry people in Perth and the packed room indicated a keenness to hear what the project has been doing and where we are heading from here. facebook.com/dafwalagrange Finalising the regional vision for future agriculture development in La Grange is a high priority for this last year.
