Aboriginal Land Act 1991

Before allocating available land, the trustee of the available land must publish notice of the trustee’s intention to allocate the available land—

by gazette notice (the allocation notice); and

in a newspaper or other publication circulating generally in the area in which the land is situated at least once.

The trustee may act under subsection (1) only if—

there is a lot on plan description for the available land; and

there is dedicated access to the available land; and

native title over the available land has been, or will be, surrendered or extinguished; and

the trustee has given notice to the chief executive about the trustee’s intention to allocate the available land.
