This Policy is about the assessment and approval of LALC land dealings by NSWALC under Division 4 of Part 2 of the Aboriginal Land Rights Act 1983 (ALRA) and Division 1 of Part 2 of the Aboriginal Land Rights Regulation 2020 (ALRR).

NSWALC has made this Policy in order to give guidance to NSWALC itself, to LALCs, and to persons dealing with LALCs, about how NSWALC will perform its approval functions and exercise its discretions under Division 4 of Part 2 of the ALRA.

All applications to NSWALC for approval of a land dealing from LALCs will be assessed against the provisions of the ALRA and the ALRR.
