Native Title Land

Guidelines and procedures

'Native title land' is defined in the Native Title (South Australia) Act 1994 (external site, opens in new window) to mean 'land in respect of which native title exists or might exist'.

Native title claims exist over most of the land in South Australia.

Native title parties are registered under the Commonwealth Native Title Act 1993 (external site, opens in new window) or Native Title (South Australia) Act 1994 (external site, opens in new window).

Anyone who is a registered native title claimant under either legislation is automatically a 'native title party'.

Holders of an exploration licence or mineral claim must obtain an agreement authorising exploration or mining on native title land. PIRSA cannot grant a mining lease until an agreement has been negotiated with the native title holders or claimants.

Any agreement reached between the parties must be lodged with a mining registrar for assessment.

Interactive maps showing native areas over South Australia are available in the South Australian Resources Information Geoserver (SARIG).
