Native Title

Native Title is a legal framework that recognises Aboriginal custodianship and rights of our land and waterways. In 2024-2025, the South Coast Native Title Claim NSW was registered to go before the courts. The Act recognises our enduring connection to Country.

Native Title recognises our Lore and Customs on Country.

The high courts established that Native Title rights exist.
