Schedule 7: National Native Title Tribunal

More information about Schedule 7

Schedule 7 conferred on the National Native Title Tribunal a new function to allow it to assist registered native title bodies corporate and common law holders of native title to promote agreement about native title and the operation of the Native Title Act 1993. This change created a new pathway to address native title-related disputes arising following a native title determination and was intended to support the early resolution and management of disputes which may arise after a native title determination.
