The Urban Development Institute of Australia (UDIA) will be holding an online presentation entitled Demystifying Aboriginal Land Rights in NSW on Thursday, October 24.
It will unpack Aboriginal land rights and discuss working with First Nations groups in NSW.
The UDIA says that by 2030, some form of First Nations rights will be recognised in relation to 72 per cent of Australia’s land.
Collectively, NSW’s Aboriginal Land Councils are the largest private landholders by area in the state and the NSW Government recently announced that treaty consultations will commence in 2025.
On the Central Coast, Darkinjung is the largest non-government landholder, and one of 120 Local Aboriginal Land Councils in NSW.
The UDIA says that while the opportunities for First Nations groups and industry to partner are enormous, both sides need a better understanding of each other to work effectively to deliver outcomes to benefit all.
Thomas Wright, Senior Associate of Chalk & Behrendt, will lead the UDIA TV event on October 24 from 1pm-2pm when viewers can learn about the social, political and legal history of Aboriginal land rights in NSW; the difference between Aboriginal land rights and federal native title; what connecting with Country and Aboriginal organisations means for development opportunities and challenges; and what all the legislation means for development and developers.
