Exploration Agreements
We are currently negotiating with Albatross Bauxite Pty Ltd in relation to 2 exploration per-mits for minerals (EPM 25977 & EPM 25976). The Applicants have developed an exploration agreement which we have submitted to this mining company to ensure that the cultural heritage of the PCCC People in respect to the PCCC land is protected in respect of any ac-tivities that may occur by way of preliminary exploration of PCCC land by this mining com-pany.
Cultural Heritage Management Plans or Agreements (CHMP/CHMA)
These are also agreements with mining com-pany and others to protect cultural heritage on a wider scale in relation to projects planned on PCCC country. These agreements have again been developed by the PCCC Applicants and their nominated cultural heritage body. This is done again to protect PCCC cultural heritage in their area. This enables PCCC people to conduct surveys when drilling and other activi-ties are occurring on PCCC land to ensure that any significant sites, artefacts and other items of cultural significance are protected. Currently we are negotiating these agree-ments with the following corporations:-
1. Esso Australia Resources Pty Ltd. 2. Cement Australia East End No. 5 Project. 3. GAWB (Gladstone Water Board) – The Ap-
plicants have also negotiated with Glad-stone Water Board and revitalised an old ILUA which has lain dormant since 2001. This resulted in a new and updated PCCC CHMP and will also result in provision of outstanding benefits to PCCC when this is gazetted which is expected shortly.
Indigenous Land Use Agreements (ILUAs)
ILUAs are contractual agreements between the claim group and private/government or-ganisations which are negotiated with the PCCC Applicant when such organisations seek to do projects on land where native title is not extinguished. They need the con-
sent of the claim group at these times. Cur-
rently the Applicant has been approached and had preliminary negotiations with a cor-poration to discuss a charter boat operation in the PCCC area. There may be opportu-nities for training, education, employment,
cultural participation and compensation in relation to such an operation if it proceeds. The Applicant and trust are currently ana-lysing this matter but the final decision will be one for the whole of the claim group.
Other matters
We are currently finalising the following matters on behalf of the trust:-
Disclosure and indemnities for honorary fi-nancial advisors. A submission has been prepared to the Australian Charities and Not for Profit Com-mission in respect of the registration of the PCCC Native Title Claim trust as a charita-ble institution not for profit institution.
