TRUST. UNITY. EQUITY. GROWTH. Recent months have seen turbulent times across the Murray-Darling Basin. The future of the Basin Plan is tested amid partisan tensions. Revelations of water theft were met with anger, but not surprise. Scientists question the pace of environmental recovery. And in the absence of a reliable test of social and economic neutrality, the debate over the recovery of the 450GL, and other elements of the sustainable diversion limit rages on. Yet amid this turbulence, there are signs of strength and resilience. Local government is united to support good process delivering better outcomes for communities facing hardship. Agricultural industries are showing signs of adaptation and growth. Regions are working hard to initiate structural adjustment for their local economies. And strong responses from irrigators and legislators are cracking down on the few who would seek to take an unfair advantage. Now, more so than ever before, it is incumbent upon local government to show the leadership, consistency and confidence that will see us through such a dynamic period. With this in mind, the 2018 National Conference of the Murray Darling Association will focus on the future for Basin communities relying on the pillars of trust, unity, equity and growth.

  • 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.
