Northern Australia White Paper: Land Tenure Reform Pilots

The 'Our North, Our Future: White Paper on Developing Northern Australia' outlined the Australian Commonwealth's 20 year economic agenda for Northern Australia. The land tenure reform pilots measure supported a range of projects to test new and innovative approaches to using Indigenous land, through existing land tenure arrangements, to aid more diverse economic development options on Aboriginal land across northern Australia.

The Agency completed the evaluation of the land tenure reform pilots measure to inform overall progress of the White Paper in the post-commencement phase, and support future northern development policy.

Produced by Yaran Business Services, the report provided findings and recommendations on the land tenure reform pilots measure underpinned by the following core objectives:

• The effectiveness of the pilot projects to realise new economic opportunities, and providing possible pathways to land tenure reform.
• The capacity for pilot projects to achieve outcomes that are meaningful to First Nations peoples.
• Analyse how the report's findings can support future land tenure reform.
