Aboriginal Land Rights Amendment Act 2014Â
On 12 November 2014 the Aboriginal Land Rights Amendment Act 2014 (the Act) passed the NSW Parliament. The Act made amendments to the Aboriginal Land Rights Act 1983 (NSW) (ALRA) as the result of the five yearly statutory review of the ALRA.
NSWALC supports the majority of amendments. The Fact Sheet outlines the key amendments and implications for the Aboriginal Land Rights Network.
The Act has passed NSW Parliament but is not yet in force. The provisions are expected to commence on 1 July 2015. NSWALC will be consulting with the Network on a number of supporting policies over the coming months.
