How does Native Title interact with town planning?

Since the concept of native title was introduced to Australia law in the early 1990s, there have been several key pieces of legislation and case law that has recognised and protected native title and its co-existence with the national land management system and tenure system.

This seminar will de-mystify the Native Title Act, what the significance of Native Title is and how it interacts with the town planning system.

The discussion will also cover any relevant case law.
