IT BEING SHOWN THAT:

A.The Applicant in proceeding WAD 6004 of 2004 has brought a native title determination application (the Ngaanyatjarra Lands Application) that relates to an area that includes the land and waters the subject of the proposed determination of native title (Ngaanyatjarra Lands Determination).

B.The Ngaanyatjarra Lands Application includes land and waters also covered by the native title determination applications brought in proceedings WAD 6030 of 1998, WAD 6041 of 1998, WAD 6101 of 1998, WAD 6103 of 1998, WAD 6109 of 1998 and WAD 6111 of 1998 (First Applications).

C.The Applicant in the Ngaanyatjarra Lands Application, each of the Applicants in the First Applications, the State of Western Australia (the State), and the other Respondents to the proceedings (the parties) have reached an agreement as to the terms of the Ngaanyatjarra Lands Determination which is to be made in relation to part of the land and waters covered by the Ngaanyatjarra Lands Application and the First Applications (the Determination Area).

D.Pursuant to section 87(1)(a)(ii) and section 87(1)(b) of the Native Title Act 1993 (Cth) (the Act) the parties have filed with this Court an agreement in writing setting out the terms of the agreement reached.

E.The terms of the agreement involve the making of consent orders for a determination pursuant to section 87 and 94A of the Act that native title exists in relation to the Determination Area.

F.The State has agreed with respect to Reserve 24980 that, but for the partial extinguishment of native title effected by the creation of Reserve 24980, the Applicants in WAD 6004 of 2004 would have held native title rights and interests conferring the right to possession, occupation, use and enjoyment of the land and waters to the exclusion of all others, save in respect of flowing and subterranean water.

G.The State has agreed with respect to the areas set out in Schedule 2 of the Minute of Consent Determination of Native Title that, but for the complete extinguishment of native title effected over those areas, the Applicants in WAD 6004 of 2004 would have held native title rights and interests conferring the right to possession, occupation, use and enjoyment of the land and waters to the exclusion of all others, save in respect of flowing and subterranean water.

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.

I.The parties have requested that the Court hear and determine that part of the proceedings that relates to the Determination Area.

J.The Applicants to the proceedings have nominated Yarnangu Ngaanyatjarraku Parna (Aboriginal Corporation) pursuant to section 56(2) of the Act to hold the determined native title in trust for the native title holders.

K.The parties have agreed that upon and by force of the Ngaanyatjarra Lands Determination taking effect, the First Applications will be discontinued in relation to the land and waters covered by the Determination, other than WAD 6103 of 1998 in relation to the area of land and waters not covered by the Ngaanyatjarra Lands Determination.

BEING SATISFIED that a determination of native title in the terms set out in the attached Minute of Consent Determination of Native Title in respect of application WAD 6004 of 2004 would be within the power of the Court and, it appearing to the Court appropriate to do so, pursuant to section 87 of the Act and by the consent of the parties:

THE COURT ORDERS THAT:

1.There be a determination of native title in application WAD 6004 of 2004 in the terms of the Minute of Consent Determination of Native Title dated 29 June 2005 and attached to these orders.

2.The First Applications, other than application WAD 6103 of 1998, be discontinued.

3.Yarnangu Ngaanyatjarraku Parna (Aboriginal Corporation) hold the determined native title in trust for the native title holders pursuant to s56(2) of the Act.

4.There be liberty to any party to apply on 7 days written notice.

5.There be no order as to costs.

Note:    Settlement and entry of orders is dealt with in Order 36 of the Federal Court Rules.

REASONS FOR JUDGMENT

BLACK CJ

  1. The Court sits today at Parntirrpi Outstation in the Central Ranges to consider an application for a determination of native title made on behalf of the Peoples of the Ngaanyatjarra Lands.

  2. The substance of the reasons for judgment that I am about to deliver will be translated simultaneously into the Language of the Peoples of the Ngaanyatjarra Lands, some hundreds of whom have come to Parntirrpi Outstation to attend this hearing.  The Court is very grateful to Mr Ward, a senior member of the Peoples, for acting as interpreter for Counsel and for the Court.

  3. The area for which the determination is sought covers some 187,000 square kilometres of land and waters in the State of Western Australia. It extends west from the border between Western Australia, South Australia and the Northern Territory. The area includes reserves and special leases granted for the use and benefit of Aboriginal people.  It also includes the Gibson Desert Nature Reserve and the Warburton Range Stock Route.

  4. The proceeding was commenced by the Ngaanyatjarra Lands Application (the Application), which was filed in the Federal Court of Australia in Perth on 23 April 2004. The parties to that application have now reached an agreement about the terms of an order of the Federal Court of Australia determining native title, and they now ask the Court to make an order in the terms that they have agreed, and to do so without holding a further hearing. 

  5. Some 2,700 men and women are named in a schedule to the proposed order as those who, with their descendants, are the Peoples of the Ngaanyatjarra Lands. 

  6. For the reasons that follow, I am satisfied that the Court can, and should, make an order in the terms the parties seek. 

  7. I should, however, first explain that the same area is the subject of six separate applications for the recognition of native title: WAD 6030 of 1998, WAD 6041 of 1998, WAD 6101 of 1998, WAD 6103 of 1998, WAD 6109 of 1998 and WAD 6111 of 1998.  The present application, the Ngaanyatjarra Lands Application, was brought so that instead of there being six applications, there should be just one application for the whole area. The orders that the Court is now asked to make provide for the discontinuance of five of the six applications. The other application, WAD 6103 of 1998, is to remain current because part of its claim area is not covered by the Ngaanyatjarra Lands Application.

  8. Section 87 of the Native Title Act 1993 (Cth) (the Act) provides that if the parties reach agreement on the terms of an order of the Federal Court, the Court may “if it appears to it to be appropriate to do so” make an order in those terms without holding a hearing. There are, however, preconditions: the terms of the agreement, in writing, signed by or on behalf of the parties, must first be filed with the Court, and the Court must be satisfied that the order in those terms would be within the power of the Court.

  9. The terms of the agreement between the parties are in writing, the agreement is signed by or on behalf of the parties and the agreement is filed with the Court. There can be no doubt about the jurisdiction of the Court to make the order sought (see s 81 of the Act) and there is nothing in the agreed terms that would suggest that the power of the Court would be exceeded. Specifically, the requirements of s 94A of the Act are satisfied because the proposed order sets out details of each of the matters mentioned in s 225.

  10. It therefore remains only to consider whether it would be “appropriate” to make the orders sought.

  11. The discretion conferred by s 87(1) must of course be exercised judicially and within the broad boundaries ascertained by reference to the subject matter, scope and purpose of the Act. The matters to be taken into account in the exercise of the discretion, and the weight to be given to those matters, may very well vary according to the particular circumstances of each case.

  12. In the present case, it is clear that the parties have had independent and competent legal advice and there is no suggestion that the agreement was not freely entered into. The agreed terms of the proposed orders are unambiguous and are appropriate in the circumstances.

  13. The Court has been much assisted in understanding the connection of the native title claimant group with their land by the commendably clear and comprehensive way in which the claimant application has been prepared. The uncontested statements in the Application give the Court some understanding of the laws and customs of the Peoples of the Ngaanyatjarra Lands.  The application sets out the various matters required by s 62 of the Act, including a general description of the native title rights and interests claimed and the factual basis upon which it is said that the claim group, and their predecessors, had an association with the area.  It outlines the basis for the claim that there existed traditional laws and customs that give rise to native title and that the claim group has continued to hold the native title in accordance with those traditional laws and customs. It explains, in outline, but sufficiently for present purposes, the basis of the claim of association with the area. It explains also that the fundamental concept in the belief system of the people of the Western Desert is that of the Tjukkurrpa and it explains in broad outline how that concept relates to the traditional laws and customs that are the foundation of the claim. 

  14. The traditional laws acknowledged, and the customs observed, by the people, encompass all aspects of their lives, as they have done since they first came to these vast lands long, long ago.  It is a connection that can be traced so deep into the lives of the Peoples of the Ngaanyatjarra Lands that it involves spiritual, physical, historical, legal (that is to say, customary legal), economic and social elements.  The Application tells, for example, of how the Peoples of the Ngaanyatjarra Lands spiritual connection to their Country can be found in the collective belief that the Tjukurrpa are responsible for the existence and form of the land itself.  

  15. In the distant past, dreaming beings travelled vast distances across the desert and through the Ngaanyatjarra Lands, creating the waterholes and landscape features and laying down the songs and dances for the people to perform.  They include the dance and song, performed last night at the place where the court sits today, about the emu and the turkey, who met up at a place called Yankal-Tjungku to the north of here, and continued on.  The Ngaanyatjarra Lands are characterised by the number and richness of these great travelling stories of creation, which still form the backbone of the people’s culture and way of life.

  16. In these circumstances I am quite satisfied that it would be appropriate to make an order in the terms agreed between the parties.

  17. It is always a cause for great satisfaction when native title claims are settled by agreement rather than through litigation.  As I said in Anderson on behalf of the Spinifex People v State of Western Australia [2000] FCA 1717, at para 1:

    “Courts have always encouraged parties to settle their claims amicably.  Agreement is especially desirable in native title cases due to the importance, complexity and sensitivity of the issues involved.  Agreement between the parties minimises cost and distress and establishes goodwill between the parties for future dealings: North Ganalanja Aboriginal Corporation v Queensland (1996) 185 CLR 595.”

  18. In this case the efforts of all the parties and their representatives are especially noteworthy.  As I have said, the present single application takes the place of six individual claims and the parties have gone ahead with commendable speed to achieve an agreement within little more than a year after the filing of this application. 

  19. Finally, I should emphasise to all present that the order that the Court will now make determines, under the laws of Australia, that native title exists, as it always has, according to the traditional laws and customs of the Peoples of the Ngaanyatjarra Lands, and that the title is held by those Peoples. The order does not grant native title to the Peoples of the Ngaanyatjarra Lands; it recognises what they have long held.

I certify that the preceding nineteen (19) numbered paragraphs are a true copy of the Reasons for Judgment herein of the Honourable Chief Justice Black.

DETERMINATION

Being satisfied that a determination in terms sought by the parties would be within the power of the Court, and it appearing to the Court appropriate to do so and by consent of the parties:

1.Native title exists in relation to the Determination Area.

THE NATIVE TITLE HOLDERS (S225(A))

THE NATURE AND EXTENT OF NATIVE TITLE RIGHTS AND INTERESTS (S225(B) AND S225(E))

3.Subject to paragraphs 5, 6 and 7, the nature and extent of the native title rights and interests held in relation to Reserve 24980 (Warburton Range Stock Route) [being an area where there has been partial extinguishment of native title] are:

(a)the right to enter and remain;

(b)the right to take fauna and flora;

(c)the right to take water for personal, domestic, or non-commercial communal purposes;

(d)the right to take other natural resources such as ochre, stones, soils, wood and resin; and

(e)the right to care for, maintain and protect from physical harm, particular sites and areas of significance to the native title holders.

4.Subject to paragraphs 5, 6 and 7, the nature and extent of the native title rights and interests in each other part of the Determination Area [being areas where there has been no extinguishment of native title or areas where any extinguishment must be disregarded] are:

(a)except in relation to flowing and subterranean water - the right of possession, occupation, use and enjoyment to the exclusion of all others; and

(b)the right to take flowing and subterranean water for personal, domestic, or non-commercial communal purposes.

5.The native title rights and interests described in paragraphs 3 and 4(b) do not confer possession, occupation, use and enjoyment on the native title holders to the exclusion of all others.

6.The native title rights and interests are:

(a)exercisable in accordance with the traditional laws and customs of the native title holders; and

(b)subject to the laws of the State and the Commonwealth including the common law.

NATURE AND EXTENT OF OTHER RIGHTS AND INTERESTS IN RELATION TO THE DETERMINATION AREA (S225(C))

9.The nature and extent of other rights and interests in relation to the Determination Area are those set out in Schedule 4.

RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN THE NATIVE TITLE RIGHTS AND INTERESTS AND OTHER INTERESTS (S225(D))

(a)to the extent that any of the other rights and interests are inconsistent with the continued existence, enjoyment or exercise of the native title rights and interests, the native title rights and interests continue to exist in their entirety, but the native title rights and interests have no effect in relation to the other rights and interests to the extent of the inconsistency during the currency of the other rights and interests; and otherwise,

(b)the existence and exercise of the native title rights and interests do not prevent the doing of any activity required or permitted to be done by or under the other rights and interests, and the other rights and interests, and the doing of any activity required or permitted to be done by or under the other rights and interests, prevail over the native title rights and interests and any exercise of the native title rights and interests, but do not extinguish them.

Stanley Mervyn, Adrian Young, and Livingston West and Ors, on behalf of the Peoples of the Ngaanyatjarra Lands v; The State of Western Australia and Ors [2005] FCA 831
Case
[2005] FCA 831
Decision Date

CaseChat Overview and Summary

The case involved a group of native title claimants, Stanley Mervyn, Adrian Young, and Livingston West, along with others on behalf of the Peoples of the Ngaanyatjarra Lands, who were seeking a determination of native title over certain lands in Western Australia. The defendants in the case were the State of Western Australia and others. The dispute was heard by the Federal Court of Australia.

The primary legal issue before the court was whether the native title claimants had established their rights and interests in the land in question. This involved determining the nature and extent of the native title rights held by the claimants, and whether those rights had been extinguished by subsequent events or legal proceedings. The court was also required to consider the appropriate form of recognition and protection for the native title rights, including whether they should be held in trust by a specified Aboriginal corporation.

The court found that the native title claimants had established their rights and interests in the land, and that these rights had not been extinguished. The court also accepted that the claimants were the appropriate parties to hold the native title in trust, and that the specified Aboriginal corporation was the appropriate trustee. The court therefore determined the native title in accordance with the terms of a Minute of Consent Determination of Native Title that had been agreed upon by the parties. The court also made orders discontinuing certain other applications, and granting liberty to any party to apply for further orders on short notice.

The final orders of the court included a determination of native title in accordance with the Minute of Consent Determination, the discontinuation of certain other applications, and the appointment of the specified Aboriginal corporation as trustee for the native title holders. The court also made orders regarding the costs of the proceedings, noting that there would be no order as to costs. Overall, the court's decision recognised and protected the native title rights of the claimants, while also providing a framework for the ongoing management and protection of those rights.
