RANGIAH J: 1 The applicant seeks a determination of native title pursuant to ss 61 and 225 of the Native Title Act 1993 (Cth) (the Act) on behalf of the Widi People of the Nebo Estate #1 (the Widi People). 2 The claim area is in Central Queensland and encompasses the town of Nebo, which is about 100 km to the south-west of Mackay. 3 The parties have indicated their consent to a determination that the Widi People are the holders of native title in the area covered by the application.

The Native Title Act 4 The Act was enacted for the purpose of protecting and recognising native title, to establish ways in which future dealings in relation to native title should proceed, to set standards for those dealings and to establish a mechanism for determining native title claims. 5 An objective of the Act is the resolution of claims for the recognition of native title by agreement. That objective has been facilitated by amendments to s 87 of the Act brought about by the Native Title Amendment Act 2009 (Cth). The agreement of the parties to the terms of the proposed orders is consistent with the objects of the Act. 6 In its preamble, the Act recognises, on behalf of all people of Australia, that the Aboriginal peoples of Australia inhabited the country for many years prior to European settlement and that the Aboriginal peoples were progressively dispossessed of their lands. It records that the Constitution was amended, by the overwhelming vote of the people of Australia, to enable laws such as the Act to be passed and to facilitate recognition by our shared legal system of native title rights and interests. 7 The Court is asked to make a determination that native title is held by the Widi People in the claim area. By making that determination, the Australian community will collectively recognise that status. But, it is important to emphasise that the Court's orders do not grant native title. The Court is merely recognising rights and interests that have existed under the traditional laws and customs of the Widi People since well before European settlement. 8 Section 61 of the Act provides that a native title determination application may be made by persons authorised by all the persons who, according to their traditional laws and customs, hold the common or group rights and interests comprising the particular native title claimed. 9 Section 223(1) of the Act explains the meaning of "native title": (1) The expression native title or native title rights and interests means the communal, group or individual rights and interests of Aboriginal peoples or Torres Strait Islanders in relation to land or waters, where: (a) the rights and interests are possessed under the traditional laws acknowledged, and the traditional customs observed, by the Aboriginal peoples or Torres Strait Islanders; and (b) the Aboriginal peoples or Torres Strait Islanders, by those laws and customs, have a connection with the land or waters; and (c) the rights and interests are recognised by the common law of Australia. 10 Section 225 of the Act describes what is meant by a "determination of native title": 225 Determination of native title A determination of native title is a determination whether or not native title exists in relation to a particular area (the determination area) of land or waters and, if it does exist, a determination of: (a) who the persons, or each group of persons, holding the common or group rights comprising the native title are; and (b) the nature and extent of the native title rights and interests in relation to the determination area; and (c) the nature and extent of any other interests in relation to the determination area; and (d) the relationship between the rights and interests in paragraphs (b) and (c) (taking into account the effect of this Act); and (e) to the extent that the land or waters in the determination area are not covered by a non-exclusive agricultural lease or a non-exclusive pastoral lease - whether the native title rights and interests confer possession, occupation, use and enjoyment of that land or waters on the native title holders to the exclusion of all others.

The application 11 The application was filed on 29 September 2006. A further amended application was filed on 17 July 2019. It seeks a determination of native title on behalf of the Widi People over land and waters within the external boundaries of the application area. 12 The respondents to the application are the State of Queensland, Isaac Regional Council, Mackay Regional Council, Ergon Energy Corporation Ltd, Telstra Corporation Ltd, Aurizon Network Ltd, Marubeni Coal Pty Ltd, Nippon Steel & Sumitomo Metal Australia Pty Ltd, Queensland Coal Pty Ltd, Sumisho Coal Development Queensland Pty Ltd, Hail Creek Coal Holdings Pty Ltd, Peabody West Burton Pty Ltd, Errol Henry Comerford and Noel James Griffin Comerford, Judith Elizabeth Cook, Noel Michael Cook, Kelli Maree Durie, Casey Ann McFadzen, Trent Bryson William McFadzen, Brian James Moohin, Catherine Delma Moohin, Alexander Barnard Gibson Turner, David W Wright, Andrew Thomas Deguara and Sally Borg and Sunwater. 13 All parties to the application have reached agreement that native title exists and as to the nature and extent of those native title rights and interests in relation to the claimed area. That agreement, made under s 87(2) of the Act, was filed on 25 July 2019. 14 The evidence of connection filed in the Court by the applicant is as follows: (1) Daniel Leo, (2015) Native Title Expert Report About The Widi People of the Nebo Estate, Birri Gubba Regional Society, Central Queensland.

(11) Statement of James Sauney signed 7 August 2013. (12) Statement of Late Barbara Sauney signed 7 August 2013. (13) Statement of Celeste Walsh signed 22 August 2013.

(16) Statement of Christine Enid Skeen signed 2 May 2013. 15 Mr Leo, an anthropologist, describes the Widi People as part of a wider regional society of Aboriginal people known as the Birri Gubba People. There are three language-defined subregions of the Birri Gubba region, including the southern, Wiri sub-region. The Wiri People comprise a member of land-owning groupings. Amongst them is the Widi, a land-owning grouping for the Nebo District. 16 Mr Leo concludes: It is my opinion that the information about the existence, distribution and nature of named Aboriginal groupings within the Birri Gubba Region provided by an array of sources over the first 50 years of European settlement (1861 to 1910) demonstrate that: a. the entire Region was occupied by Aboriginal populations; b. these populations were formed into distinct, named groupings; c. these named groupings occupied and owned defined tracts of country, that is, they were localised, land-owning groupings associated with a touri - with an estate - and thus they were the Traditional Native Title Holding Group; d. spatially, the land-owning groupings of the inland domain tended to be more or less evenly distributed along major watercourses, with their estates straddling waterways (hence occupying sections of a catchment and with many boundaries on watersheds); e. spatially, the land-owning groupings of the coastal domain occupied sections of the coast and adjacent hinterland, with major waterways tending to be boundaries; f. a land-owning grouping was named after a notable plant or animal associated with their estate, or after a prominent geographic characteristic of that territory, or after historical events associated with that country or people; g. the -bura suffix (or alternate spellings thereof) is used to denote the names of such land-owning groupings; h. the Bura Groupings of the Region were interrelated by commonalities of language and socio-cultural practices (such as intermarriage) and as such were part of a wider Regional System; and, i. through conquest or extinction, one Bura Grouping replaced another as the occupiers and owners of an estate. (Footnote omitted.) 17 Mr Leo concludes that the Toolgimburra and the Mungullaburra Bura Groupings occupied and owned estates in the claim area. 18 Mr Leo goes onto say: It is my view that the historical and contemporary information … about the Pre-Sovereignty Society demonstrate that Widi Territory is located within an area that was part of a Regional System of localised, land-owning groupings. This Regional System - a Cultural Bloc - regulates intergroup activity and interaction. It is underpinned by certain commonalities, or more precisely, by consistent and harmonised Systems of Recruitment to Land-owning Groupings and of Land Tenure, which are the two sets of Laws & Customs relating to land and waters. There are also commonalities arising from a System of Religious Beliefs, which is, in part, a Law & Custom relating to land insofar as it is the basis for a spiritual connection to country. 19 The Widi People are described as the biological or adopted descendants of 15 named apical ancestors. Mr Leo describes ten current family lineages from those apical ancestors. 20 Mr Leo's report and the affidavits filed provide cogent evidence demonstrating that the Widi People have maintained a set of traditional laws and customs handed down from their ancestors. The material demonstrates that the Widi People continue to exercise and enjoy their native title rights and interests on a regular basis within the claim area. The Widi People acknowledge, not only a genealogical connection between themselves and their forebears, but also cultural connection based upon their laws and customs. The evidence supports the claim that that traditional laws acknowledged and the customs observed by the Widi People give them the right to possess, occupy and use and enjoy the land and waters in the claim area.

The agreement reached between the parties 21 Section 87 of the Act gives the Court the power to make an order consistent with the terms of an agreement between the parties to the proceeding without holding a hearing in relation to the application. 22 The conditions under s 87 of the Act that enable the Court to make the determination without a hearing are: (1) The period specified in the notice given under s 66 of the Act in relation to the application has ended and there is an agreement between all the parties on the terms of a proposed order of the Court in relation to the proceedings: s 87(1)(a). (2) The terms of the proposed determination agreement are in writing and are signed by or on behalf of the parties and filed with the Court: s 87(1)(b). (3) The Court is satisfied that an order in, or consistent with, those terms would be within its power: s 87(1)(c). (4) The Court considers it appropriate to make the orders sought: s 87(1A) and (2). 23 The Act encourages parties to take responsibility for resolving the proceedings without the need for the Court to intervene by way of a hearing. Therefore, when the Court is examining whether it is "appropriate" to make the orders sought, the focus is upon the making of the agreement between the parties. In Lovett on behalf of the Gunditjmara People v State of Victoria [2007] FCA 474, North J said at [36]-[37]: The Act is designed to encourage parties to take responsibility for resolving proceedings without the need for litigation. Section 87 must be construed in this context. The power must be exercised flexibly and with regard to the purpose for which the section is designed. In this context, when the Court is examining the appropriateness of an agreement, it is not required to examine whether the agreement is grounded on a factual basis which would satisfy the Court at a hearing of the application. The primary consideration of the Court is to determine whether there is an agreement and whether it was freely entered into on an informed basis. Insofar as this latter consideration applies to a State party, it will require the Court to be satisfied that the State party has taken steps to satisfy itself that there is a credible basis for an application. (Citations omitted.) 24 It is not the role of the Court to enquire as to the merits of the claim. The Court must be satisfied that the orders sought are supported and in accordance with the law: Cox on behalf of the Yungngora People v State of Western Australia [2007] FCA 588 at [3] per French J. The Court is to consider evidence only for the purpose of determining whether the State is acting in good faith and has made a rational decision: Munn (for and on behalf of the Gunggari People) v State of Queensland (2001) 115 FCR 109 at [29]-[30] per Emmett J. In Wik and Wik Way Native Tile Claim Group v State of Queensland (2009) 258 ALR 306; [2009] FCA 789 at [16] and Kowanyama People v State of Queensland [2009] FCA 1192 at [22], Greenwood J held that, while it is not necessary for the Court to consider the body of material that would be available to it in the course of a contested hearing, it ought to have regard to sufficient material which is capable of demonstrating that the agreement and the proposed orders are "rooted in reality". 25 State and Territory governments are responsible for ensuring that community interests are protected by getting involved in a process that assesses the underlying evidence as to the existence of native title. In this case, the State is satisfied that the claim group is an appropriate one to be recognised as holders of native title rights and interests, that it is appropriate to recognise the rights and interests proposed and that it is appropriate for the State to enter into the determination. 26 The requirements of s 87 of the Act have been satisfied: (1) The period for notification of the Application under s 66 of the Act has ended: s 87(1)(a). (2) The parties have reached an agreement as to the terms of a determination of native title: s 87(1)(a)(i). (3) The parties have recorded their agreement in a Minute of Consent: s 87(1)(b). (4) An order in terms of the Minute, or consistent with the Minute, would be within the Court's power because: (a) the application has been made in accordance with s 61 of the Act; (b) the application is for a determination of native title in relation to an area for which there was no approved determination of native title: s 13(1)(a); (c) the Minute agreed to by the parties complies with ss 94A and 225 of the Act: s 87(1)(c). 27 In addition, it is appropriate for the Court to make the orders sought because: (1) The active parties have freely entered into the agreement. (2) The parties have agreed as to the nature and extent of rights and interests, and the proposed determination is unambiguous and certain as to the rights and interests declared. (3) There are no proceedings before the Court relating to native title determination applications that cover any part of the area that is the subject of this application that would otherwise require orders under s 67(1) of the Act. (4) The State has played an active role in the negotiation of the determination and, in doing so, has taken an interest in the proceeding on behalf of the community and given appropriate consideration to the connection material. 28 The terms of the proposed determination also satisfy the requirements of s 225 of the Act.

Prescribed Body Corporate 29 Section 56(1) of the Act requires that the Court must determine whether the native title is to be held on trust, and if so, by who. 30 The applicant submits that the Court should determine, in accordance with the agreement between the parties, that the native title is not to be held on trust and that the Widi Aboriginal Corporation (ICN 8911) be the prescribed body corporate for the purpose of s 57(2) of the Act and perform the functions mentioned in s 57(3) of the Act. The applicant relies upon the affidavit of their solicitor, David Glen Saylor, in support of that submission. 31 The applicant has filed a form nominating the Widi Aboriginal Corporation for the purpose of performing the functions mentioned in s 57(3). The nomination has been made by Paul Butterworth, who is a member of the applicant and is authorised to make the nomination. The consent of the Widi Aboriginal Corporation has also been filed. I am satisfied that the Widi Aboriginal Corporation is a prescribed body corporate within reg 4 of the Native Title (Prescribed Bodies Corporate) Regulations 1999 (Cth). Accordingly, I am satisfied that s 57(2)(a) of the Act has been complied with. 32 It is appropriate to determine that the native title is not to be held on trust and that the Widi Aboriginal Corporation (ICN 8911) be the prescribed body corporate for the purpose of s 57(2) of the Act and perform the functions mentioned in s 57(3) of the Act. I certify that the preceding thirty-two (32) numbered paragraphs are a true copy of the Reasons for Judgment herein of the Honourable Justice Rangiah.
