Appendix O - Indigenous Lands Guide

1. Background

This guide is to be used to name selected Indigenous Lands and as a guide on the locations which require a restricted access text note on the map face.

Small holdings have been excluded from the guide for clarity reasons.

1.1 Rules for Placement of Text_notes

• Where a Holding or Island is identified on the guide, and it occupies more than 10% of the land area of the map a text_note(s) is/are to be placed based on the geographical extent of the Holding or Island. On some maps it may be necessary to have multiple text_notes.
• For the Mainland the text_note should read:

PERMITS MAY BE REQUIRED FOR ENTRY
INTO OR TRAVELLING THROUGH
INDIGENOUS LANDS AND COMMUNITIES

• For the Islands of the Northern Territory the text_note should read:

ENTRY TO ISLANDS IS RESTRICTED, PERMISSION MUST
BE SOUGHT FROM THE APPROPRIATE LAND COUNCIL

• For the Islands of Cape York the text_note should read:

ENTRY TO ISLANDS IS RESTRICTED, PERMISSION MUST
BE SOUGHT FROM THE APPROPRIATE ISLAND COUNCIL
OR THE TORRES STRAIT REGIONAL AUTHORITY

• For Font type and size for text_noting of indigenous lands please see Section 2.

1.2 Rules for Naming Indigenous Lands

• Only the holdings specifically named on this Guide and occupying greater than 20% of the map area will be named on the map.
• All names are to include the descriptor "INDIGENOUS LAND" e.g. the name "ANANGU PITJANTJATJARA" on the guide will read in the data and on the map as "ANANGU PITJANTJATJARA INDIGENOUS LAND"
• No boundaries are to be shown on the map unless there are represented by standard selection for Administration Areas.
• For Font type and size for naming of indigenous lands please see Section 2.
