Noongar Cultural Centre – US$5.3 million and up to two hectares of land for the development of a Noongar Cultural Centre. As part of the Yamatji Land Estate, reserves are built up under the State Administration Act 1997 (AV) for the Yamatji Social, Cultural and/or Economic Benefit. Some mining and oil leasing properties that overlap over the proposed reserve lands have been granted « relevant rental housing » or « conversion potential » status under Schedule 12 of ilUA. Owners of a « affected rental home » may continue to access the affected rental properties and continue to engage in mining or oil activities. « Potential conversion rents » are subject to an additional three years during which the holder can apply for a mining lease, an oil production licence or an oil retention contract before a reserve is established. The NSHA provides the parties with a framework for fulfilling Aboriginal management obligations and conducting Aboriginal heritage investigations, where appropriate, and facilitates compliance with the Aboriginal Heritage Act of 1972 and rules in which a planned land use activity can impact an Aboriginal area. The Centre for Social Responsibility in the Mining Sector has developed a guide to the production agreement with indigenous groups, including useful case studies of successful mining development and resource development projects in indigenous countries. Under the Native Title Act, exploration or mining activities invoke the « right to negotiate, » which gives local parties the option to negotiate agreements with supporters. These agreements define the conditions for the implementation of each future legislative act, including, in some cases, the provision of jobs and training, the protection of the environment or cultural heritage or compensation and payments. If the parties are unable to reach an agreement, a party may request a decision from the Native Title Tribunal. Alternatively, the Native Title Act allows local title groups and other interested parties to voluntarily enter into agreements known as the Indigenous Land Use Agreements (ILUAs).

ACCORDS can cover both future legal acts (for example. B exploration or mining activities) and future legal acts (e.g. B, the exploitation and access agreements governing co-existing rights). After registration, ILUAs bind all parties and holders of native securities under the terms of the agreement. The year 2014 marks Argyle`s participation agreement between Rio Tinto and the mine`s traditional owners, the Gija and Mirriuwung. When the participation agreement was signed ten years ago, it set a new benchmark in Australia for land use agreements between resource companies and traditional owners: it created not only income streams for future generations of local Aboriginal people, but also significant opportunities for training, employment and business development and a voice for Aboriginal people in mining decisions that affect their interests. Thus, during the negotiations of the agreement, Argyle presented a commitment that was probably unique in the history of the mining industry: Argyle would not pursue its plans for an underground mine without the agreement of the traditional owners, when the law did not require it. Aboriginal service providers are generally a company or person directly qualified in a discipline directly relevant to the management of Aboriginal heritage, such as anthropology, archaeology, history or associated discipline, and/or a person with cultural authority and heritage knowledge for the country concerned. The model contract defines the obligations of the Aboriginal legacy service provider when conducting an Aboriginal heritage investigation under the NSHA. The contract reflects relevant NSHA commitments to ensure that the results are consistent with the requirements set out in the NSHA. ILUA recognizes the Yamatji Nation`s traditional connection to land and water on nearly 48,000 square kilometres of land in the Middle
