Abstract:
Overlapping claimant applications in respect of land and waters in and around Perth - Applications in respect of five areas made on behalf of Bodney Family Group claim based on descent from Ballarruk and Didjarruk clans - Whether these were land-holding
groups at sovereignty or moiety groups - Lack of evidence of connection between members of claimant group and any Ballarruk or Didjarruk person alive at sovereignty - Lack of evidence of continued acknowledgement and observance of traditional laws and customs - These claims dismissed - Consideration of separate question arising out of application by the Noongar community in respect of an extensive area of south-west Western Australia - Separate questions related only to land and waters in and around Perth, however the claim was that this was part of a greater area in respect of which the Noongar community held native title rights and interests - Whether at sovereignty the normative system governing the whole of south-west Western Australia was that of a single Noongar community or whether there were a series of separate normative systems of smaller communities - Whether the single Noongar community has continued to acknowledge and observe some traditional laws and customs concerning land and waters - Identification of persons entitled to native title rights and interests - Identification of surviving rights and interests - Discussion of, and orders about, belated motion to strike out single Noongar claim for lack of proper authorisation.
