What this document does

This is a formal proclamation — a legal notice that activates specific parts of a law already passed by Parliament.

Key action

It switches on items 1 to 4 of Schedule 1 to the Aboriginal Land Rights (Northern Territory) Amendment Act 2006.
These provisions take effect on 1 October 2006.

Why this matters Laws often sit inactive after being passed until a government official formally "commences" them. This document flips the switch, allowing those specific amendments to be enforced from the stated date. Without this proclamation, those sections would remain dormant.

Who is affected

Aboriginal Land Councils in the Northern Territory
Traditional owners of Aboriginal land
The Northern Territory Government
Commonwealth agencies administering Aboriginal land rights
