Formal Recognition
Once the requirements of the first four steps have been met Indigenous peoples organise together to form an incorporated group, known as a Land Council, Land and Water Council or Land and Sea Council.
next step is to seek formal recognition, which in Victoria can be done in one of three ways.
state recognition: trad owner group completes registration as a registered aboriginal party (RAP) under Aboriginal heritage Act 2006
state recognition: trad owner groups gains state gov recognition under trad owners settlement act 2019
federal recognition: trad owner group’s native title claim is assessed againts the native title act 1993 and determined by fed court
what are Registered Aboriginal Parties (RAPs)
- resp for managing all land, water and Aboriginal cultural heritage within their appointed areas.
- They are appointed by the Victorian Aboriginal Heritage Council, established under the Aboriginal Heritage Act 2006,
- are the primary source of advice and knowledge on all matters relating to Aboriginal places or Aboriginal objects in their region.
Native Title Determination
- applies to public land and waters, except where it has been ‘extinguished’ (meaning a group’s rights to native title have been withdrawn).
- includes property rights held by Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples under their traditional laws and customs
- Native title may be claimed in the following areas:
> vacant Crown land
> parks and public reserves
> Beaches
>land held by government agencies
> some land held for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander communities
> oceans, seas, reefs, lakes, rivers, creeks
