Nanda people celebrate the Federal Court’s recognition of their connection to Country as Native Title Holders
Posted: February 18th, 2025
Last Thursday 13 February, the Honourable Justice Murphy of the Federal Court of Australia delivered the Nanda Part C Native Title Determination on Southern Yamatji Country at the Geraldton Surf Life Saving Club. This is the third successful native title determination for the Nanda people, with all native title claims now resolved.
Yamatji Marlpa Aboriginal Corporation (YMAC) congratulates the Nanda Native Title Holders, and the Nanda Aboriginal Corporation who will be taking on the important responsibilities of managing the rights and interests associated with this claim.
The area of land determined last week covers around 1,831 square kilometres of land and waters, with Nanda being recognised as holding exclusive native title over around 1,104 square kilometres.
YMAC is proud to have provided legal and other advice to the Nanda claims over the almost 30-year process.
