These regulations ensure the money is held securely in a government trust account and can only be used for its intended purpose (land for social, cultural or economic benefit).\n\n**Who it affects:**\n- Government departments depositing appropriated funds\n- The body corporate responsible for managing the fund\n- Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander beneficiaries of land purchases funded by the account"}},"importantCases":[],"_links":{"self":"/api/acts/native-title-national-aboriginal-and-torres-strait-islander-land-fund-regulations","history":"/api/acts/native-title-national-aboriginal-and-torres-strait-islander-land-fund-regulations/history","analysis":"/api/acts/native-title-national-aboriginal-and-torres-strait-islander-land-fund-regulations/analysis","conflicts":"/api/acts/native-title-national-aboriginal-and-torres-strait-islander-land-fund-regulations/conflicts","importantCases":"/api/acts/native-title-national-aboriginal-and-torres-strait-islander-land-fund-regulations/important-cases","documents":"/api/acts/native-title-national-aboriginal-and-torres-strait-islander-land-fund-regulations/documents"}}
