Native Title and Heritage Law

 Native Title & Heritage Law 

Our practitioners have extensive experience in relation to native title and Aboriginal heritage issues. We assist project proponents in the exploration and mining, infrastructure and utilities, development, quarrying, and government sectors, in relation to all their native title, Aboriginal land, and indigenous cultural heritage needs.

 

We focus on providing advice which drives negotiations forward, to enable efficient and timely land access, while observing the necessary local protocols and developing good relationships between the client and the traditional landowners. Our services include:

​​

• options for developing public and private infrastructure on non-exclusive land
