Purpose of Meeting

On 12 June 2024, a meeting of the Eastern Kuku Yalanji Native Title Group was held, where it was resolved that the area within the CYU#1 Claim Area between the Annan River and Endeavour River, and east to the Normanby River (the Endeavour River Disputed Area, the cross hachured area shown on the map to the right) would be removed from the proposed native title determination for the Eastern Kuku Yalanji and Guugu Yimidhirr Native Title Groups, and proceed under a separate dispute resolution plan that is yet to be prepared by the CYU#1 Applicant.

The purpose of this meeting is to:

  1. consider the boundary of Eastern Kuku Yalanji Country within the Endeavour River Disputed Area;
  2. discuss the apical ancestors from who those Eastern Kuku Yalanji People who claim connection to the Endeavour River Disputed Area are descended; and
  3. discuss proposed next steps.
