Title: Register of Native Title Claims - boundaries and core attributes about application
Custodian: National Native Title Tribunal
Jurisdiction: Australia
This dataset attempts to reflect the boundaries of claimant applications for Native Title as per the Register of Native Title Claims (s185, Native Title Act; Commonwealth).
This is a national dataset but data is stored by jurisdiction (State), for ease of use. Applications stored for each jurisdiction dataset include applications which overlap into adjoining jurisdictions as well as applications which overlap with these.
This dataset depicts the spatial record of registered claimant applications. Aspatial attribution includes National Native Title Tribunal number, Federal Court number, application status and the names of both the NNTT Case Manager and Lead Member assigned to the application.
Applicants of registered applications have the Right To Negotiate (RTN) with respect to certain types of Future Acts over the area being claimed.
Whilst applications that are determined are recorded on a separate register, all registered applications remain on the Register of Native Title Claims until otherwise finalised.

Geographic bounding box:
The bounding box encloses the maximum extents of the dataset. There may be voids or gaps within the bounding box, depending on the defined coverage of the dataset. Outer bounding rectangle as Latitude/Longitude coordinates based on the WGS84 datum (expressed as both Degrees Minutes Seconds and as decimal Degrees):
- North bounding latitude: 9 00 00.0 S (-9)
- South bounding latitude: 44 00 00.0 S (-44)
- East bounding longitude: 168 00 00.0 E (168)
- West bounding longitude: 96 15 00.0 E (96.25)
Lineage:
Created by the National Native Title Tribunal in 1994 and continuously updated and maintained.
Positional accuracy:
Application boundaries are based on various sources and may include any combination of cadastral, topographic, tenement and descriptive data. Positional accuracy therefore depends on the source data and geographic nature of the application.
Attribute accuracy:
Attributes are maintained continuously and should at all times reflect the Register of Native Title Claims. Some inconsistencies due to communication or procedural problems may occur from time to time.
Logical consistency:
There are some technical overlaps within this dataset. Technical overlaps include portions of boundaries of applications that are intended to abut but which overlap. These overlaps may be caused by changes in source datasets used to create application boundaries or by differing interpretations of application boundary descriptions. Part of the maintenance program of this dataset is the identification and removal of such technical overlaps.
Completeness:
Complete.
