Minister for Resources The Honourable Scott Stewart
A native title determination will “change the lives” of traditional owners the Wangkamahdla People in central west Queensland.
Resources Minister Scott Stewart said a determination recognising the Wangkamahdla People’s rights under native title to more than 3 million hectares of land to the west and southwest of Boulia has been made in the Federal Court.
“This is a historic decision for the Wangkamahdla People, whose unbroken bond to their traditional country has been officially recognised,” Mr Stewart said.
“This determination will help preserve Wangkamahdla ancestral connection to country and bolster traditions and values.”
