DATE OF ORDER:

28 NOVEMBER 2018

THE COURT NOTES THAT:

A.The Applicant in proceeding WAD 6136 of 1998 has made a native title determination application (“Nanda Application”). 

B.The Applicant in proceeding WAD 286 of 2018 has made a native title determination application (“Nanda #2 Application”) which partially overlaps the land and waters the subject of the Nanda Application. The Nanda Application and the Nanda #2 Application are made on behalf of the same persons.

C.The Applicants in the Nanda and Nanda #2 Applications, the State of Western Australia and the Respondents to the proceedings (“the parties”) have reached an agreement as to the terms of a determination which is to be made in relation to the whole of the Nanda #2 Application and part of the land and waters covered by the Nanda Application (“the Determination Area”). The external boundaries of the Determination Area are described in Schedule One to the determination.

D.The parties have agreed that, in respect of the balance of the land and waters the subject of the Nanda Application (“Nanda Part B”), no determination is to be made at present. Nanda Part B comprises that portion of the Nanda Application which is geographically overlapped by native title determinations WAD 6119 of 1998 (Mullewa Wadjari Community) and WAD 339 of 2018 (Malgana #2).

E.Each of BPP Oliver Super Pty Ltd, Calum Graham Carruth, Alan James Crawford, Harold James Crawford, James Michael Drew, Loreto Mary Drew, Gabor Holdings Pty Ltd and Belinda Jean Sparkhall have reached an agreement with the Applicant in relation to those portions of their respective pastoral leases that are situated within the Determination Area. Following the making of the determination, that agreement will be executed and an application will be made for the agreement to be registered as an Indigenous Land Use Agreement on the Register of Indigenous Land Use Agreements as a prescribed body corporate agreement pursuant to s 24BG of the Native Title Act 1993 (Cth) (“Native Title Act”).

F.Pursuant to subsections 87A(1)(d), (2) and (4) of the Native Title Act  (in respect of the Nanda Application) and subsections 87(1), (1A) and (2) of the Native Title Act (in respect of the Nanda #2 Application) the parties have filed with the Court a Minute of Proposed Consent Determination of Native Title setting out the terms of the agreement reached by the parties in relation to the Nanda and Nanda #2 Applications.

G.The terms of the agreement involve the making of consent orders for a determination pursuant to ss 87A (in respect of the Nanda Application) and 87 (in respect of the Nanda #2 Application) of the Native Title Act that native title exists in relation to the land and waters of the Determination Area.

H.The parties acknowledge that the effect of the making of the determination is that the members of the native title claim group, in accordance with the traditional laws acknowledged and the traditional customs observed by them, should be recognised as the native title holders for the Determination Area as set out in the determination.

I.Pursuant to s 87(2) and 87A(4) of the Native Title Act, the parties have requested that the Court determine the proceedings that relate to the Determination Area without holding a hearing.

J.The Applicants in the Nanda and Nanda #2 Applications have nominated the Nanda Aboriginal Corporation (ICN 8871) pursuant to s 56(2)(a) of the Native Title Act to hold the determined native title in trust for the native title holders.

BEING SATISFIED that a determination of native title in the terms set out in Attachment A would be within the power of the Court and, it appearing to the Court appropriate to do so, pursuant to ss 87, 87A and 94A of the Native Title Act and by the consent of the parties:

THE COURT ORDERS THAT:

1.In so far as native title determination application WAD 6136 of 1998 relates to land and waters also overlapped by native title determination application WAD 286 of 2018, it is dismissed.

2.In relation to the Determination Area, there be a determination of native title in WAD 6136 of 1998 and WAD 286 of 2018 in the terms provided for in Attachment A.

3.The Nanda Aboriginal Corporation (ICN 8871) shall hold the determined native title in trust for the native title holders pursuant to s 56(2)(b) of the Native Title Act 1993 (Cth).

4.There be no order as to costs.

Note:   Entry of orders is dealt with in Rule 39.32 of the Federal Court Rules 2011.

Use of Coordinates:
Where coordinates are used within the description to represent cadastral or topographical boundaries or the intersection with such, they are intended as a guide only. As an outcome to the custodians of cadastral and topographic data continuously recalculating the geographic position of their data based on improved survey and data maintenance procedures, it is not possible to accurately define such a position other than by detailed ground survey.

REASONS FOR JUDGMENT

MORTIMER J:

  1. The parties agree the following description by one Nanda claim group member embodies the enduring sense of connection of the Nanda People to their country, which is by this Court’s orders the subject of a determination of native title:

    I go out and visit my country on every occasion I can. When I’m on country, I’m healing. I’m out of the town, I’m on country, I’m home. I can feel myself and spirit getting better when I’m on country. I clear my mind, I clear everything. And then I go back to the hustle and bustle, build it all up and then go back out to release it all. I get my children out there so they experience it too.

  2. The Court’s determination will preserve, protect and recognise, in contemporary Australian law, what the Nanda People already know, and have always known, about their connection by traditional law and custom to their country.

    The applications

  3. The orders made today for the determination of native title arise out of two applications made pursuant to s 61 of the Native Title Act 1993 (Cth). They are proceeding WAD 6136 of 1998 which I will describe as the “Nanda application”, and proceeding WAD 286 of 2018 which I will describe as the “Nanda #2 application”.

  4. The Determination Area is approximately 17,350 sq km of land and waters located in the Geraldton region of Western Australia approximately 200 km south of Carnarvon and approximately 90 km north of Geraldton. It runs along the coast in the Mid-West and southern Gascoyne regions of Western Australia, roughly from the Murchison River to just south of Shark Bay. Three local government regions fall within the Determination Area: (a) the Shire of Northampton; (b) the Shire of Murchison; and (c) the Shire of Shark Bay. The town site of Kalbarri is also included in the Determination Area.

  5. The Nanda application is, in fact, the product of two separate, original applications in WAD 6004 of 1998 and WAD 6136 of 1998. They were combined by orders of this Court on 29 September 2000, and the proceeding number WAD 6136 of 1998 was retained. It is not necessary to set out all the procedural history in detail. There were some early amendments, which also need not be set out in detail.

  6. More recently, there was an amendment, made by orders on 18 July 2018, for two purposes. Firstly the amendment removed part of the Nanda application which was seaward of the lowest astronomical tide. Secondly the amendment removed part of the Nanda application which was on and near Shark Bay because of an inter-Indigenous agreement reached with the native title claimants in the adjoining Malgana Application (WAD 6236 of 1998). The amended Nanda claim was accepted for registration under s 190A(6A) of the Act on 17 August 2018.

  7. Just before this amendment in 2018, the Nanda #2 application was filed. It was filed to seek the benefit of s 47B of the Act, on behalf of the same group of claimants, and overlapped entirely with the Nanda application. Subsequently, by orders made by this Court on 15 October 2018, the area of the Nanda #2 application was reduced, so that it covered only those areas of Bully Pool and Wilgie Mia Pool described in Schedule Three, items 6 and 7 of the Determination.

    The parties

  8. The land tenure of the application area consists of large reserves and pastoral leases, unallocated Crown land and freehold land. The tenure is reflected in the identity of the parties to the proceedings and the Determination.

  9. The parties to the Nanda application, are:

    (a)the Nanda applicant;

    (b)the State of Western Australia;

    (c)the Commonwealth of Australia;

    (d)Yamatji Marlpa Aboriginal Corporation;

    (e)Telstra Corporation Limited; and

    (f)the following pastoralists:

    (i)BPP Oliver Super Pty Ltd;

    (ii)Calum Graham Carruth;

    (iii)Alan James Crawford;

    (iv)Harold James Crawford;

    (v)James Michael Drew;

    (vi)Loreto Mary Drew;

    (vii)Gabor Holdings Pty Ltd;

    (viii)Vivian Roy Porter; and

    (ix)Belinda Jean Sparkhall.

  10. The parties to the Nanda #2 application, are:

    (a)the Nanda applicant;

    (b)the State; and

    (c)the Commonwealth of Australia.

  11. The Nanda applicant consists of the following claim group members: Violet Drury, June Ruffin, Gwen Mitchell, Janet Wilton, Gerald John Whitby, Coleen Drage, John Stephen Drage, Annette Pepper, Steven Kelly (grandson of Cornelius Kelly), Lorraine Whitby, Mary Tullock, Steven Kelly (father of Marrick Kelly), William Mallard Jr, William Mallard Sr, Helen Nutter and Nora Mallard.

  12. The Nanda #2 applicant consists of the following claim group members: Derek Drage, Helen Nutter, Annette Pepper, Douglas William Ryder and Delveen Whitby.

    The native title holders

  13. Rights and interests in the Determination Area under traditional law and custom are held by the Nanda People by reference to descent, including adoption in accordance with traditional law and custom.

  1. The initial identification of the apical ancestors to whom the native title holders traced their rights and interests in the Determination Area was limited to four individuals: Jilba, Mary Jane Batt, Sarah Feast and Alice McMurry. After a connection report on behalf of the applicant was given to the State on a without prejudice basis, and after further negotiations, the parties agreed to a different description, which is the one to be found in the Determination made by the Court. In that new description, Sarah Feast has been removed as an apical ancestor, on the basis that the connection report concluded Sarah Feast was, more likely than not, not a Nanda person. Added to the list of apical ancestors were Venus (the sister of Jilba), Brindy (one of Mary Jane Batt’s partners) and Polly.

  2. Thus, the native title holders in this Determination Area, described as the Nanda People, are those Aboriginal persons who:

    (a)are descended from at least one of the following Nanda apical ancestors:

    (i)Jilba;

    (ii)Venus;

    (iii)Mary Jane Batt;

    (iv)Brindy;

    (v)Alice McMurray; or

    (vi)Polly;

    (b)identify themselves as Nanda under Nanda traditional law and custom and are so identified by other Nanda people as Nanda; and

    (c)have a connection with the land and waters in the Determination Area in accordance with traditional Nanda laws and customs.

  3. The term “descent” here, and in the Determination, includes adoption in accordance with traditional Nanda laws and customs.

    The material before the Court

  4. Aside from the material which accompanied the original Nanda applications, and the Nanda #2 application, no connection material has been filed with the Court. The affidavits which were filed with the Nanda application were not substantive in nature, in terms of providing any evidence about Nanda traditional law and custom.

  5. The Court therefore has:

    (a)The original and amended applications under s 61 of the Act in both Nanda and Nanda #2;

    (b)A proposed minute of consent determination filed on 21 November 2018 jointly prepared by the applicant and the State, and signed by all relevant parties;

    (c)Joint submissions on behalf of the applicant and the State filed on 21 November 2018 in support of the application for consent determination in both proceedings;

    (d)An affidavit of Colin McKellar sworn 13 November 2018, in support of the application for consent determination in both proceedings;

    (e)An affidavit of Colin McKellar sworn 22 November 2018 confirming the written nomination by the applicant of the Nanda Aboriginal Corporation (ICN 8871) to be the prescribed body corporate pursuant to s 56(2)(a)(i) of the Act; and a document demonstrating the written consent of the Nanda Aboriginal Corporation to be the PBC pursuant to s 56(2)(a)(ii) of the Act.

    Material provided to the State of Western Australia

  6. However, significant connection material has been provided to the State. The applicant provided the State with the following material on a without prejudice basis:

    (a)Nanda Anthropology Report dated 14 December 2014 prepared by Dr Anna Kenny, which included genealogies, a site register, a resources register and a connection film;

    (b)Nanda Supplementary Report #1 dated 29 July 2016 prepared by AnnMarie Volpe;

    (c)Nanda Supplementary Report #2 dated 9 December 2016 prepared by AnnMarie Volpe; and

    (d)Affidavits or statements from the following Nanda claimants:

    (i)Clayton Drage Senior dated 24 June 2018;

    (ii)Violet Drury dated 20 December 2001;

    (iii)Tim Mallard dated 22 June 2018;

    (iv)William Mallard Senior dated 25 March 1999;

    (v)Carrum Mourambine dated 22 June 2018;

    (vi)Annette Pepper dated 19 June 2018;

    (vii)Barry Randall dated 28 December 2001;

    (viii)Lucy Ryder dated 23 March 1999 and 18 December 2001;

    (ix)June Ruffin dated 2 May 2018; and

    (x)Peta Wilson dated 11 June 2018.

  7. I am satisfied the State had ample material on which to make an informed decision about the connection of the Nanda People to the claim area. The basis for connection is also well explained in the joint submissions filed with the Court.

    The country of the Nanda People

  8. As I have noted above, the Determination Area is located on the coast of Western Australia and extends inland. It runs from Bluff Point near the southern boundary of the claim area, inland to just west of Dartmoor, north to just west of Muggon and across back to the coast just south of Freycinet Harbour. The Murchison River runs through the claim area in the southern part. There are also a number of waterways and tributaries that form part of the Murchison catchment area within the claim area that are significant to the Nanda People including Long Springs, Cement Slab, Bully Pool, Wilgie Mia Pool and Syphon Pool.

  9. Since European settlement, the nature of the land in the claim area has generally consisted of pastoral leases, national parks or nature reserves. There are eight pastoral stations associated with the claim area: Yandi, Coburn, Hamelin, Eurardy, Talisker, Nerren Nerren, Meadow and Murchison House stations.

  10. The Determination Area also includes some highly significant areas of natural heritage: the Kalbarri National Park, the Zuytdorp Nature Reserve and the Toolonga Nature Reserve. Most of the freehold and leasehold tenure within the Determination Area exists in and around the town of Kalbarri. There are also areas of unallocated Crown land, and these were the subject of the Nanda #2 application.

    A brief description of the Nanda People, their traditional law and custom and their country in the claim area

  11. Like all Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Peoples, the Nanda People have complex social structures, and as a people are guided by deep and rich traditional law and custom, to which it is not possible to do justice in this short summary. However, it is important that the Court’s record reflect some summary of these matters, as part of acknowledging the importance of the recognition of the native title of the Nanda People by this Determination.

  12. In describing the Nanda People, their traditional law and customs, and their connection to country, the role played by European studies and early accounts about Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Peoples in the proof of native title under the current Australian legal system must be noted, without giving a prominence to those studies and accounts which diminishes or drowns out the authentic, abiding voice of the Nanda People themselves in telling the story of their country, and of the traditional laws and customs which connect them to it and have done since time immemorial. Much modern anthropological, ethnographic and historical work strives to give Indigenous people that voice, and such an approach is to be commended.

    Rights and interests in country

  13. Nanda country is acknowledged to belong to all Nanda people, who have acquired their rights and interests by descent from a known Nanda ancestor who had a traditional connection to Nanda country. As one socio-territorial language group, united by their acknowledgment and observance of the same body of traditional laws and customs relating to rights and interests in the country of the Determination Area, Nanda People accept and observe that the exercise of those rights is influenced by a number of factors.

  14. Knowledge about country and traditional laws and customs will earn the bearer influence, status and prestige. Active participation in the networks of relatedness and group affairs of the Nanda community is important. Long-term residence near or on Nanda country and recognised, active engagement with the Nanda community is another factor. Being born or having a Nanda ancestor who was born on Nanda country may be relevant, however without a descent based claim from a Nanda ancestor, other relevant criteria such as birthplace, knowledge or long-term residence are not sufficient for claim group membership.

  15. Descent, in and of itself, may also not be sufficient. Although it is the starting point, descent will not confer rights and interests under traditional Nanda law and custom unless those rights and interests are “activated” by social participation in the Nanda group, and thereby recognised by the group. In this way, a significant level of cohesion is achieved.

    Nanda spiritual beliefs

  16. The spiritual beliefs of Nanda People connect them to country, provide the context in which many of their laws and customs arise, and demonstrate the way in which the land, waters, flora and fauna that occupy and depend on it, and the people who share it and have responsibilities for it, are woven together.

  17. The snake, or serpent, which lives in some of the springs and pools of the Murchison River, is a central feature of the beliefs of Nanda People. The snake is called bimarda, bimarra, thayidi or ididibarndi. A senior Nanda claimant described it in this way:

    Some of the springs on the Murchison River bubble because a water snake is in there. One of these pools is called Beeragudda, that is a proper Nanda name they told me. That snake is in that pool, so you’ve got to be aware when you get there. That pool bubbles, you walk along that pool and it bubbles. That snake is still in there, he never died. He will not hurt you but he is in there. There’s another pool further down, they call him Goonabalinya, funny name. And there’s a snake down in Natt’s pool too. I’ve seen the water bubbling, that’s how you know that he’s still in there. You should not kill the snake because if you kill the snake, the pool will go dry. That is what they told me, if you kill the pool they will die because that is where they belong, they are living in there, sleeping in that pool.

  18. Nanda People believe the creative serpent lives in the waters of their country and created many pools and watercourses by travelling down the Murchison River, and also travelling away from the river, creating further creeks, pools and water sources within Nanda country. Respect should be shown to the snake before using the water sources by throwing sand into the water. This may also pacify the snake when people are nearby.

  19. Early European visitors to the area, such as Augustus Oldfield in 1865, were told of the need to avoid a bubbling spring, because the commotion was caused “by an underground serpent, which continually spews up the water”.

  20. There are also more localised myths, about people and animals who lived in the past, and how they shaped and made the land. There is an emu and kangaroo dreaming associated with Mt Curious, which is located on Murchison House Station and Yoadadalliny hill:

    The kangaroo and the emu had a quarrel about which of them should have the egg, and who should have the joey. This quarrel developed into a fight because the kangaroo wanted the egg. The kangaroo made the hill, Yaodadadliny, and emu made Mt Curious. The latter, with its characteristic flat topped shape, was judged to be the better nest. Consequently, it was decided that the emu could keep the egg and the kangaroo kept the joey.

  21. The story of the Wedge-tailed Eagle and the Willy Wagtail is associated with Nature’s Window, a striking rock formation framing an upstream part of the Murchison River in Kalbarri National Park:

    Willy Wagtail used to be big and Wedgetail Eagle used to be small. Willy Wagtail was cheeky and boisterous and on an occasion he chased the Wedgetail Eagle through Nature’s Window. As they emerged on the other side they had transformed. The eagle had become big and the cheeky Willy Wagtail small, which nevertheless has not changed his character. He still is cheeky.

  22. Some stories are instructional, about how to find and use the land’s resources. The emu in the sky story tells Nanda people about when is the right time to collect emu eggs:

    I remember the old people telling myself about the story of the emu in the sky. You can see the shape of the emu at night amongst the stars and when it becomes clear you will know that the emu has started laying their eggs.

  23. It is not only animals that are present on Nanda country. There are also spirits. They are called innga. The existence of the innga may require Nanda people to behave in certain ways, or create obligations that must be observed. The innga include the “old people” (deceased relatives), “travellers” (spirits that wander across the country) and “little people” (mischievous and meddlesome spirits). Many of these innga are dangerous, and Nanda people are wary of places, thickets and waterways associated with them. When going onto country, the spirits must be spoken to or addressed by Nanda people and have to be respected, just as one would living Nanda elders.

    How Nanda people maintained connection to country after European settlement

  24. As for all Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Peoples, the coming of Europeans resulted in practical and legal interruption to the rights and interests of Nanda people in their land. However, the parties agree and the Court is satisfied that it did not result in any surrender, or washing away, of traditional rights and interests in Nanda country or in loss of connection to country. With determination and persistence, and through adaptation to the pastoral activities of European settlers, Nanda people maintained an ongoing connection to Nanda country in accordance with their traditional law and customs.

  25. From about 1850, pastoral settlement began in the Determination Area. Dispossession by pastoralists led to conflict, depletion of the natural resources and new diseases inflicted on Nanda people. Like other groups, the Nanda People suffered in many ways, including but not limited to significant population loss. Yet, as I have noted, they also adapted, and found ways to remain on their country by working on stations, therefore also managing to keep their families on country because they could live around the homesteads or at out-camps.

  26. Working on pastoral stations led to multigenerational employment for Nanda people within their country. By the 1950s and 1960s, third and fourth consecutive generations were taking up work on stations in and around Nanda country, alongside their fathers and uncles or extended family members. Other Nanda people lived in townships such as Ajana and Galena, on or near the Determination Area.

  27. This pastoral station work, and associated work on stations, or residence in nearby townships all contributed to the ability of Nanda people to continue to visit, hunt and gather on their country, care for it and look after it in the traditional way, and transmit knowledge about their land to their children.

  28. The parties agree, and the Court accepts, that the following statement from Dr Kenny’s Connection Report describes how that connection was maintained through inter-generational visits to country and activities on country:

    Nanda people living on stations and in townships often did not have much money and were dependent on hunting and foraging for bush foods to supplement their diets. They took their children and grandchildren with them and taught them how to feed themselves from the land. Children also ‘knocked about’ the bush on weekends and holidays, taking care of their own food. [Two senior claimants] told me that in their childhood they fished, hunted and collected bush tucker ‘all the time’:

    We used to go down to the river from Galena and find sugarbrothers, boggata beans, kylies and kumberalas – mum and dad showed us. Matha are bulbs that grew in winter. They are very hot. Njakus are little white round onions on the sand plains. Quandong, silver wattle gum. In winter we children would go off looking for mushrooms from Galena. We would catch fish in the river and look for worms. Yellowtail fish were at Galena, but mum would not eat them or cook them.

  29. The pastoral work did not last however, and from the 1970s onwards, some Nanda people were forced to move to larger regional centres. The mines around Galena also closed, which forced more people to move to be able to survive. People moved to places such as Geraldton, Northampton, Denham and Carnarvon, all outside of the Determination Area. Many Nanda people still live in these places today. However, those Nanda people who live outside the Determination Area continue to camp, fish, hunt and gather on their country on weekends and during holidays.

  30. Some Nanda people managed to stay on country, and still do, living at places near Kalbarri such as Barrel Well and Kelly Camp.

  31. Even from this brief summary, it can be seen that native game and plant foods have always been important to Nanda people, and continue to be. They retain their knowledge about the numerous edible or useful native plants which exist in the Determination Area. They still hunt and collect foods including Mallee fowl eggs, bangara (lizards), bardi (grubs), echidnas, bigurda (kangaroo) and emu and emu eggs. Fishing on the coast and in the pools of the Murchison River is another traditional activity. In the freshwater pools they catch bream and yellowtail and on the coast they catch a number of different fish such as snapper, mullet, rock cod and parrotfish. Coastal use also includes collecting periwinkles, oysters, abalone and kurnaaku (crayfish).

  32. As reflected in the connection material for the Nanda application, Nanda peoples’ own accounts of their history, their traditional way of life, their laws and customs and how those laws and customs connect them to country, can be placed in a post-European settlement context by some of the ethnographic materials set out in the connection materials, and which are outlined in the joint submissions in support of the consent determination.

  33. One of the earliest European visitors to the Determination Area, whom I have already mentioned, was Augustus Oldfield, a botanist who from around 1865 wrote the first serious ethnographic report relating to Nanda country. Also around that time, and onwards into the early 20th century, a number of Europeans who either lived in the area, or visited it, documented accounts or references to the Nanda People and their connection to the Determination Area. These included:

    (1)Edward Micklethwaite Curr, a pastoralist and writer originally from Tasmania who in the 1880s collated information from correspondence with settlers, police officers and colonial officials around Australia into his four volume work entitled The Australian Race: Its Origins, Languages, Customs (Melbourne, 1886-87);

    (2)Robert Hamilton Mathews, a surveyor in New South Wales who, with an interest in Aboriginal societies and language, retired from surveying in the 1890s to devote himself to the study of the linguistics, social structure, ceremonial life, customs, art and beliefs of Aboriginal peoples in various parts of Australia, including references to the Nanda People; and

    (3)Daisy Bates, about whom I have written, expressing mixed views, in Narrier v State of Western Australia [2016] FCA 1519 (Tjiwarl) at [462]-[493]. Ms Bates referred to the Nanda people in some of her works published between 1904 and 1912.

  34. The joint submissions referred to the works of other anthropologists and ethnographers, whose works also had some references to the Nanda People, but it is not necessary to set them out in these reasons. The focus should be, through the connection materials and the State’s acceptance of them, on what Nanda people themselves, and those experts who have in contemporary times been working with them for the purposes of these applications, have had to say about their society and its traditional laws and customs.

    The applicable requirements of s 87 and s 87A

  35. It is not necessary to set out the statutory requirements in s 87 and s 87A. The basic requirements are similar as between s 87 and s 87A, although there are additional requirements in s 87A because it relates to only part of a claim area.

  36. I am satisfied, and the parties agree:

    (a)the s 66 notice period has expired (ss 87(1) and 87A(1)(b));

    (b)as I have explained above, there is agreement that the proposed determination relates to only part of the land and waters the subject of the Nanda application (s 87A(1)(b)). This condition is not relevant to the Nanda #2 application;

    (c)the relevant parties, in both the Nanda application and the Nanda #2 application, have filed the terms of their agreement, by providing a proposed minute of consent determination (ss 87(1)(a), 87(1)(b), 87A(1)(c), 87A(1)(d) and 87A(2));

    (d)the minute has been signed by all relevant and applicable respondent parties and by the applicant (s 87A(1)(c)), including the Yamatji Marpla Aboriginal Corporation, which is the representative Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander body for the region. This means no further notice is required to be given under s 87A(3), and at the time of the preparation of these reasons for judgment, and the making of the Court’s orders, there are no objections for the Court to take into account under s 87A(8) of the Act; and

    (e)there are no other registered native title claimants or persons who claim to hold native title in relation to the Determination Area (s 87A(1)(c)(ii) and (vi)).

  1. I am satisfied the orders sought are both consistent with the terms of the parties’ agreement as reflected in the minute of consent determination, and are within the Court’s power to pronounce (s 87(1)(c) and s 87A(4)(a)).

    Whether it is appropriate to make the orders sought

  2. The requirement that the Court be satisfied that the order is “appropriate” is present in both s 87 and s 87A. It is obviously a core requirement. It is common ground that the applicable principles are the same.

  3. I set out my approach to the question of “appropriateness”, and the Court’s function in Freddie v Northern Territory [2017] FCA 867 at [16]-[18] and I adopt without repeating what I said in those paragraphs, which is equally applicable to s 87A. I also noted in Freddie at [20] that it is important to see the exercise of the judicial power in s 87 in the context of the Court’s jurisdiction as a whole, and its foundational legislation, the Federal Court of Australia Act 1976 (Cth), and in particular s 37M and s 37N of that Act. This applies equally to s 87A.

  4. I respectfully agree with the observations of Mansfield J in Brown v Northern Territory of Australia [2015] FCA 1268 at [23], about the Court’s task in these circumstances:

    The Court is not required to embark upon an inquiry as to the merits of the claim to be itself satisfied that the orders are supported and in accordance with law: Cox on behalf of the Yungngora People v State of Western Australia [2007] FCA 588 at [3] per French J. However, the Court will consider evidence for the limited purpose of determining whether the State has made a rational decision and is acting in good faith: Munn for and on behalf of the Gunggari People v State of Queensland (2001) 115 FCR 109 at [29]-[30] per Emmett J.

  5. This means there must be probative material before the Court to enable it to assess whether the matters set out in s 225 of the Act can be determined to exist, and to have always existed, so that the claimants’ connection to their country, and their rights and interests in accordance with traditional law and custom can be recognised.

  6. As is often the case, the principal source for the Court’s assessment is what is contained in the joint submissions filed on behalf of the key active parties: the applicant and the State. There has been no agreed statement of facts filed pursuant to s 87A(9) of the Act.

  7. In Freddie at [23]-[24], I pointed to the State’s public responsibility to ensure any agreement made under s 87 (and this applies also to agreements made under s 87A) is one which is in the interests of the community it represents. Part of its responsibility is to satisfy itself there is a sufficient basis for concluding that the proposed determination is capable of satisfying the requirements of s 225 of the Act, but the way in which the State satisfies itself of that matter may vary considerably from case to case. No minimum requirements of proof can or should be set out. However, if the State embarks on such a course, and ultimately accepts it is appropriate to recognise the existence of native title in the claim group, then the Court is entitled to proceed on the basis the State has made a reasonable and rational assessment of the material to which it has been given access.

  8. The joint submissions record the State’s position that there is sufficient material for it to be satisfied there is a “credible or cogent basis” for the proposed determination of native title, in that the Nanda People are:

    …bound together by a normative system of laws and customs which, on the basis of known fact and reasonable inference, has continued to be observed by [the Nanda People] in a substantially uninterrupted manner since prior to the declaration of sovereignty over Western Australia. Further, the Nanda people have maintained a physical presence in the Determination Area since the acquisition of British sovereignty and evidence of their continuing physical or spiritual involvement in the Determination Area was sufficient to enable the First Respondent to conclude that this connection had not been severed. Taken together, the First Respondent was satisfied that the material presented was sufficient to evidence the maintenance of connection according to traditional laws and customs in the Determination Area.

  9. The State has, as the joint submissions record, conducted searches of land tenure, mining and petroleum registries to determine the nature and extent of “other interests” within the Determination Area. I am satisfied the searches have been carried out with the State’s usual diligence, and that the relevant interests are included in Schedule 5 of the proposed Determination.

  10. Based on all the material, and for reasons I have set out, the Court is satisfied that it is appropriate to make the determination of native title that is jointly sought by the relevant parties. The Court is also satisfied that the proposed Determination sets out a description of the nature and extent of the native title rights and interests of the Nanda People in relation to the Determination Area, and sets out the “other interests”, so as to comply with s 225 of the Act, and with s 223.

  11. Finally, the Court is satisfied that the Nanda applicant and the Nanda #2 applicant have agreed to the minute of consent determination pursuant to the authority conferred on them by s 62A of the Act, which empowers those individuals constituting an applicant to “deal with all matters arising under this Act in relation to the application.” Further, at a claim group meeting at Geraldton on 1 September 2018, the Nanda People authorised the two applicants to consent to the Court making a determination in, or consistent with, the terms of the minute.

    Nomination of a prescribed body corporate

  12. As I have noted above, through Mr McKellar’s affidavit, the applicants have nominated the Nanda Aboriginal Corporation (ICN 8871) to be the PBC pursuant to s 56(2)(a)(i) of the Act, and have filed documentary consent of the Nanda Aboriginal Corporation to be the PBC pursuant to s 56(2)(a)(ii) of the Act.

  13. Mr McKellar deposes to a meeting of the Nanda native title claim group on 16 June 2018, and that one notified purpose of this meeting was to incorporate the Nanda Aboriginal Corporation so that it could be the Nanda PBC. His evidence was that the number of Nanda claim group members in attendance at the June meeting was consistent with attendance at previous claim group meetings.

  14. He deposed that the meeting authorised the incorporation of the Nanda Aboriginal Corporation as the PBC which is to hold Nanda native title on trust for the common law holders. Mr McKellar’s further affidavit annexes a letter from Annette Pepper (a member of the applicant for both Nanda and Nanda #2) confirming that at the 16 June 2018 meeting there was unanimous consensus from the Nanda claim group that they intend the Nanda Aboriginal Corporation to be the Nanda PBC, and that the native title would be held by that corporation on trust.

  15. Mr McKellar’s evidence was that all, or almost all of the Nanda persons who attended the 16 June 2018 meeting became incorporation members of the Nanda Aboriginal Corporation. He deposed that all members of the Nanda Aboriginal Corporation are persons who are included or are proposed to be included in the Nanda Determination as native title holders as required by reg 4(2)(b) of the Native Title (Prescribed Bodies Corporate) Regulations 1999 (Cth).

  16. On Mr McKellar’s evidence, at a meeting on 2 November 2018, the directors of the Nanda Aboriginal Corporation unanimously resolved to accept the nomination to hold Nanda native title in trust for the Nanda common law holders. The directors unanimously passed the resolution accepting Nanda Aboriginal Corporation’s nomination.

  17. Mr McKellar annexed to his affidavit a copy of the Nanda Aboriginal Corporation Certificate of Registration.

  18. I accept Mr McKellar’s evidence. The Court is therefore able to perform its function under s 55 of the Act at the same time as making a determination of native title, and to determine pursuant to s 56(2)(b) of the Act that the Nanda Aboriginal Corporation (ICN 8871) is to hold the rights and interests from time to time comprising the native title of the Nanda People in the Determination Area in trust for the common law holders of that title.

    CONCLUSIONS ON THE APPLICATION

  19. A determination of native title will be made in accordance with the parties’ proposed minute. A determination under s 56(2)(b) will also be made.

  20. The Nanda People finally have recognition by Australian law of their native title. They are to be admired for their persistence and determination, in light of the many obstacles facing Aboriginal people and their communities. Their legal representatives, and their representative body, are to be congratulated for the support and assistance provided. The responsible and important role played by the State in this outcome should be favourably recognised. So too, the attitude and support of the other active respondents for this outcome.

I certify that the preceding sixty-nine (69) numbered paragraphs are a true copy of the Reasons for Judgment herein of the Honourable Justice Mortimer.

AGLC
Drury on behalf of the Nanda People v State of Western Australia [2018] FCA 1849
Case
[2018] FCA 1849
Decision Date

CaseChat Overview and Summary

The Nanda People, represented by Drury, applied for a determination of native title over a specified area in Western Australia. The State of Western Australia and other interested parties contested the application. The Federal Court was tasked with determining whether native title existed in the claimed area and, if so, the nature and extent of the rights and interests of the Nanda People. Additionally, the Court had to decide on the relationship between any determined native title and other interests in the land, such as pastoral leases, reserves, and public works.

The Court found that native title existed in the claimed area, held by the Nanda People, but was extinguished in certain parts due to prior grants of freehold estates. However, sections 47A and 47B of the Native Title Act 1993 (Cth) were applied to disregard certain extinguishments. The Court also determined the specific rights and interests of the Nanda People, including exclusive rights to possession, occupation, use, and enjoyment of certain areas and non-exclusive rights in other areas. These rights were subject to traditional laws and customs and were not applicable for commercial purposes. The Court further outlined the nature and extent of other interests in the area and their relationship with the native title rights.

The Court concluded that the proposed determination by the parties appropriately reflected the native title rights and interests of the Nanda People. The Nanda Aboriginal Corporation was appointed to hold the native title in trust for the Nanda People. No orders were made regarding costs. The Court's decision recognised the persistence and determination of the Nanda People and commended the role of their legal representatives, the State, and other respondents in reaching this outcome.

Use of Coordinates:

Where coordinates are used within the description to represent cadastral or topographical boundaries or the intersection with such, they are intended as a guide only. As an outcome to the custodians of cadastral and topographic data continuously recalculating the geographic position of their data based on improved survey and data maintenance procedures, it is not possible to accurately define such a position other than by detailed ground survey.

Decision

Reasons for decision

I accept Mr McKellar’s evidence. The Court is therefore able to perform its function under s 55 of the Act at the same time as making a determination of native title, and to determine pursuant to s 56(2)(b) of the Act that the Nanda Aboriginal Corporation (ICN 8871) is to hold the rights and interests from time to time comprising the native title of the Nanda People in the Determination Area in trust for the common law holders of that title.CONCLUSIONS ON THE APPLICATION A determination of native title will be made in accordance with the parties’ proposed minute. A determination under s 56(2)(b) will also be made. The Nanda People finally have recognition by Australian law of their native title. They are to be admired for their persistence and determination, in light of the many obstacles facing Aboriginal people and their communities. Their legal representatives, and their representative body, are to be congratulated for the support and assistance provided. The responsible and important role played by the State in this outcome should be favourably recognised. So too, the attitude and support of the other active respondents for this outcome.
