Aboriginal land that—

is transferred land; and

became transferred land before 22 December 2006.

A declaration under subsection (1)(a) may describe the available State land concerned in any way, including, for example, describing the land as land included in a stated area of the State.

A regulation may declare that an area of transferred land is not claimable land.

A declaration under subsection (3) may be made only if—

the land is primarily used or occupied by Aboriginal people for residential or community purposes; or

the Minister has consulted with Aboriginal people particularly concerned with the land and a substantial majority of the Aboriginal people are opposed to the land being claimable land.
