In NSW, Aboriginal local land councils can apply for freehold title to Crown land and property that is unoccupied or not being used. “Future use of the land will then be a matter for La Perouse Local Aboriginal Land Council as the new landowner, in accordance with local planning requirements,” the spokesman said.
