Sinopsis

Aboriginal land rights recognition in 1983 came after nearly 200 years of violent colonial dispossession and the near complete loss of land. For over 40 years, NSW Aboriginal people have worked to restore their Country and people.

The Aboriginal Land Rights Act in NSW includes unique features that remain unrealised in other parts of the country. The laws announced the policy of self-determination, compensation for loss, a land claims process, support for enterprises and the establishment of a network of land councils. Today there are 120 land councils that operate across the state.

Yet significant features of the land rights promise remain outstanding. Less than 1 per cent of the state has been restituted to Aboriginal land councils, with tens of thousands of land claims yet to be determined.
