The registration process

Register of Indigenous Land Use Agreements
To have an agreement registered on the Register of Indigenous Land Use Agreements, apply in writing to the Native Title Registrar using the application forms under the Related resources box on this page.

The Registrar checks the application and agreement to ensure they meet the requirements of the Native Title Act 1993 (Cwlth). Information is available to help applicants meet the requirements for registration:

• Tribunal assistance
  The Tribunal can assist in the making of the agreement, with the preparation of the application and accompanying material and by providing comments on draft ILUAs and draft applications for registration.
  
• Guidelines for registration
  Information to help applicants meet the guidelines for registration for the type of indigenous land use agreement being negotiated.

If an application and agreement meet the Act's requirements, the Registrar will notify the necessary people and organisations of the application to register the ILUA. During the notice period, certain people can object or express concerns about the registration of the agreement on certain grounds. An ILUA can only be registered where there are no established objections or obstacles to registration, or where any objections or obstacles have been withdrawn or resolved.
