203BJ Other functions
In addition to the functions referred to in sections 203BB to 203BI, a representative body must:
as far as is reasonably practicable, enter into written arrangements with other representative bodies so that the representative body can exercise its facilitation and assistance functions in relation to a matter of a kind referred to in paragraph 203BD(a) or (b); and
as far as is reasonably practicable, identify persons who may hold native title in the area for which the body is the representative body; and
as far as is reasonably practicable, take such action as the body considers appropriate to promote understanding, among Aboriginal people and Torres Strait Islanders living in the area, about matters relevant to the operation of this Act; and
as far as is reasonably practicable, inform such of the following as the representative body knows are, in relation to the area:
registered native title bodies corporate;
native title holders;
persons who may hold native title;
of any matter that the representative body considers may relate to, or may have an impact upon, native title in the area; and
whenever the body considers it necessary in the performance of its functions—consult with Aboriginal or Torres Strait Islander communities that might be affected by the matters with which the body is dealing; and
as far as is reasonably practicable, co‑operate with other representative bodies for the purpose of promoting the effective and efficient exercise of the functions and powers of representative bodies.
