Aboriginal Lands Act 1995

If the Council receives a request which complies with subsection (2) to review a decision made by it in respect of – the involvement of local Aboriginal groups or persons in the management of Aboriginal land; or the granting of an interest which did not exist at the commencement of this Act in Aboriginal land to any person; or any other matter which is likely to have a significant impact on Aboriginal land or other land in which the Council acquires an interest– the Council must review that decision.

The request referred to in subsection (1) must be signed by 50 Aboriginal persons who would be eligible to vote at an election for members of the Council if such an election was held at the date of the request and must contain the names and addresses in a legible form of those persons.

The Council must review its decision within 28 days from the date on which it received a request.

After the Council has reviewed its decision, it must give to each person who signed the request the result, in writing, of its review and the reasons for its decision on the review.
