Looks at mining royalties as a source of funds to land councils and recommends that they be given a greater percentage than currently; royalty associations need to be made more accountable to ensure funds are spent for the benefit of the local community; funding to royalty associations being used for services that should be funded from local government; general grants should be abolished and the money allocated to ASTIC or the land councils
