Case Study Assignment

Please select either Option A OR Option B, and provide your answer in 2,000 to 2,500 words. The word length is not that important. What is really important is that you demonstrate that you understand the task and through your answer, that you also understand the issues involved and how they can be addressed, given what you have learnt from this Subject. You can choose Option A OR Option B. In your answer you must demonstrate that you understand the ‘future acts’ processes in the Native Title Act 1993 (Cth) and the role of Indigenous Land Use Agreements in authorising ‘future acts’. You must also demonstrate that you understand the dilemmas facing your organisation about the options open to it and their consequences for native title holders or registered native title holders or claimants. We have loaded the Assessment Outline for each of the Options on LearnJCU under the ‘Assessments’ tab.
