DEBATES - Thursday 18 May 1995Land Management Agreement • December 12th, 2019
Contract Type FiledDecember 12th, 2019settlement of the Woolner land claim. Further draft agreements have been negotiated successfully in respect of commission assistance of Aboriginal owners at Douglas Hot Springs and for Aboriginal involvement in the management of Cobourg Marine Park. The agreements speak for themselves. The Conservation Commission and its involvement with park management, and Aboriginal people in particular, cannot be equalled anywhere in Australia. An agreement is also awaiting signature for the commission to assist Aboriginal landowners in north-east Amhem Land in relation to conservation management. I hope to be in a position to advise the House at a later date about those agreements.
