The Ngurra Kayanta claim (WAD410 of 2012 and WAD326/2015) was determined in two parts:

  • Part A area on 10 August 2016;
  • Part B area on 15 August 2017.

The Part B determination was the subject of various appeals, including to the High Court of Australia, which ultimately, on 17 April 2019, decided in favour of the Ngurra Kayanta claimants in Tjungarrayi v Western Australia [2019] HCA19.

Ngurra Kayanta (Aboriginal Corporation) RNTBC (ICN: 8571) is the Prescribed Body Corporate nominated by the Ngurra Kayanta native title holders to hold the native title rights and interests on trust for both Part A and Part B of the determination.
