Land Access and Future Acts
The Tjiwarl native title claim is registered with the National Native Title Tribunal. Therefore, any access on to the native title claim is regulated by the future acts process in the Native Title Act.
Access to Tjiwarl native title claim for mining or petroleum tenure purposes
Exploration and prospecting mineral titles
The Tjiwarl native title claimants are developing a standard Exploration and Prospecting Agreement with the purpose of protecting cultural heritage sites and areas of cultural significance during the conduct of exploration or prospecting activities.
Central Desert encourages applicants for exploration and prospecting titles to accept the Exploration and Prospecting Agreement for Tjiwarl once developed in its standard form to expedite the grant of the title. However, it can be utilised as the basis of negotiations between explorers and the Tjiwarl claimants.
Negotiations in relation to the Exploration and Prospecting Agreement are conducted by Central Desert under instructions from the Tjiwarl claimants. Explorers may be invited to meet with the Tjiwarl claimants and negotiate any outstanding issues directly.
Other mineral and petroleum titles
Instructions will be required from the Tjiwarl claimants in relation to agreements for all other mineral and petroleum title applications on a case-by-case basis.

All non-mining/petroleum titles on registered native title claims require an application to be made to the relevant government department and the requisite notifications to be made under the future acts process in the Native Title Act.
