Origin Energy – Advice Regarding Tenure Upgrades

Native Title & Land Rights

Marrawah Law were engaged to provide advice in relation to options for securing the local Aboriginal Land Council’s consent for an upgrade in tenure under the Aboriginal Land Rights Act 1983 (NSW) in circumstances where there was an overlapping Native Title Determination Application.  The advice included any native title implications arising from the upgrade of infrastructure and recommended engagement strategies with the Land Council and the native title party. Following the provision of initial legal advice on the matter, Marrawah Law provided advice to Origin during negotiations with stakeholders; and finally, drafted and settled the agreements reached.
