Summary
"One of the ways in which the Native Title Act 1993 (NTA) seeks to 'recognise and protect' native title is by requiring successful native title claimants to establish a Prescribed Body Corporate (PBC) which, upon registration, becomes a Registered Native Title Body Corporate (RNTBC). The National Native Title Tribunal (NNTT) has commissioned two major projects to examine the legal and social implications of this requirement for native title holders ... For the second, the NNTT has engaged the Cape York Land Council (CYLC) to carry out a study of native title land use and management in Cape York Peninsula. This project focuses on the use of PBCs as a means of protection of native title in Cape York in terms of land and sea management, and the relationship between PBC operations, and those of other indigenous land owners and managers (eg. land trusts and pastoral lease holders) and non-Indigenous land management bodies under state and Commonwealth programs and legislation." -- p. v
