About:

The Native Title & Indigenous Cultural Heritage Law — An Australian Perspective seminar provides an introduction to land rights in Australia, including the theory of native title, the native title future acts regime, and Indigenous cultural heritage law.

If you are a heritage advisor, or work in planning, environmental regulation or community policy areas, then it is critical to have a good working understanding of native title, cultural heritage law and associated regulatory and statutory regimes.

Storey & Ward Lawyers are pleased to announce their next Melbourne seminar in this area, providing insight and expertise.

“Land justice is about much more than Mabo, it’s about a complicated web of statutory, legislative and spiritual responsibilities for Country.”

The seminar will also provide an opportunity to participate in discussion with senior Traditional Owner Liz Allen, about how rights & responsibilities to culture & Country are enacted within statutory and regulatory environments.

Accessible for those working in the area, those interested in native title & cultural heritage, and lawyers (providing up to 6 CPD points subject to jurisidictional requirements), this seminar has been of great value to other participants.

“To really understand the complex environment of Traditional Owner rights, you have to talk to people with lived experience.”

This seminar focuses primarily on the Victorian state regime, together with a broad look at relevant Commonwealth legislation.

This all day seminar (8:30am - 4:00pm, followed by networking drinks until 5.00pm) will be held on Thursday 29 February 2024 in Naarm at University House at The Woodward (10th Floor, Melbourne Law School, 185 Pelham Street, Carlton). It includes resource materials, morning & afternoon tea & a light networking lunch.
