Summary

Amends the:

Aboriginal Land Rights (Northern Territory) Act 1976
to: enable the town of Jabiru and two adjacent portions of Northern Territory land to be granted as Aboriginal land to the Kakadu Aboriginal Land Trust; and enable Northern Territory Portion 7021 in Patta to also be granted as Aboriginal land; and
Environment Protection and Biodiversity Conservation Act 1999
to: provide that world heritage, natural and cultural values of Kakadu National Park continue to be protected in relation to Jabiru; and amend existing management plan and town plan requirements for development of towns in Commonwealth reserves.

We acknowledge the traditional owners and custodians of country throughout Australia and acknowledge their continuing connection to land, waters and community. We pay our respects to the people, the cultures and the elders past, present and emerging.
