Traditional Owner Settlement Act 2010

A land use activity agreement must be expressed to be a land use activity agreement.

A land use activity agreement must—

clearly identify the land to which it applies; and

set out any traditional owner rights recognised in the recognition and settlement agreement in which the land use activity agreement is included.

A land use activity agreement may, in relation to earth resource or infrastructure authorisations that are for exploration only, specify conditions as to exploration that may be accepted by persons applying for such authorisations.

A land use activity agreement may, in relation to earth resource or infrastructure authorisations that are prospecting licences under the Mineral Resources (Sustainable Development) Act 1990, specify conditions as to activities allowed under a prospecting licence that may be accepted by persons applying for such authorisations.

Any conditions specified in a land use activity agreement under subsection (3) or (3A) that are accepted by an applicant for an authorisation have effect despite anything to the contrary in the Act or regulations under which the authorisation is granted.
