DERM sought input from landholders adjoining the State land, leasehold land and reserves included in the planning study, who:
- are aware of existing uses on these lots and believe they should continue
- have an opinion on the most appropriate uses of these lots in the future.
Submissions have now closed.
Background
The study aims to resolve the Indigenous land use agreements for the Mamu people and Djiru people #3 native title claimant applications, and provide planning certainty for local governments, State agencies and the community.
The study will determine the most appropriate use for the sites under Section 16 of the Land Act 1994.
Possible uses for the land include urban, rural (e.g. agriculture or grazing), residential, industrial, commercial or recreational purposes, conservation, infrastructure (e.g. road works, power, water etc.) flood control and scenic amenity.
