Make a Land Claim

NSWALC, with assistance of the Office of the Registrar, has developed a helpful guide to the land claim process.

In addition to this NSWALC has developed a Land Claims Tip Sheet which is designed to provide LALCs with a step- by- step guide to identifying and assessing land for its potential to be claimed, right through to the completion of a land claim application.

Land Claims Manual for Local Aboriginal Land Councils.

Land Claims Tip Sheet - Investigating and Lodging Land Claims

Land claims must be lodged in writing with the Registrar, using this form

Land Claim for Land Pursuant to Aboriginal Land Rights Act 1983 (NSW) [PDF].

The claim should identify the land claimed as clearly as possible. All land claims should be signed by the Land Council’s Chairperson.

The claim form can be posted, emailed, faxed or delivered in person to:
