Title : About future acts?
Description : Proposed activities or developments that may affect native title are classed as 'future acts' under the Native Title Act. Because claimant applications may take years in mediation or court proceedings before a final decision is reached, a system was devised to let claimants and project proponents negotiate about their interests while native title applications are being resolved. This is the future act process.
