Do development controls and environmental protection measures apply to native title holders?

0

At this stage it is clear that native title holders are subject to existing Commonwealth, State and Territory and local laws, including land use planning schemes, development controls, health and building by-laws and environmental protection legislation in relation to their native title rights and interests. Generally, all State/Territory and Local Government laws apply to native title provided they are consistent with the Native Title Act 1993 (Cth). Care must also be taken not to breach the Racial Discrimination Act 1975 (Cth) when applying State or local laws to native title holders/registered applicants.
