The Federal Court made a consent determination of native title under s 87 of the Native Title Act 1993 (Cth) recognising exclusive native title rights over NT Portion 2138 (where s 47A applied to disregard prior extinguishment) and non-exclusive native title rights over the remaining pastoral lease and crown lease portions of the Determination Area, approximately 160 km north of Alice Springs.
