membership

The NSW Aboriginal Land Rights Act 1983 (as amended) states a person wishing to join a Local NSW Aboriginal Land Council must:

  • identify as a person of Aboriginal descent.
  • present documentation identifying their family’s Aboriginal descent.
  • be accepted by their local Aboriginal community as a person of Aboriginal descent.

A person is qualified for membership if:

(a)  the person is an adult Aboriginal person who resides within the area of the Local Aboriginal Land Council concerned and is accepted as being qualified on that basis to be a member by a meeting of the Council, or
(b)  the person is an adult Aboriginal person who has a sufficient association with the area of the Local Aboriginal Land Council concerned (as determined by the voting members of the Council at a meeting of the Council) and is accepted as being qualified on that basis to be a member by a meeting of the Council, or
(c)  the person is an Aboriginal owner in relation to land within the area of the Local Aboriginal Land Council concerned and has made a written application for membership in accordance with subsection (3).

Under the NSW Aboriginal Land Rights Act 1983 (as amended) your application for membership of a Local Aboriginal Land Council (LALC) is presented at a meeting of the Mudgee LALC for discussion, and its acceptance will be be put to a vote. A majority vote either way will decide your membership application acceptance or rejection.

When a person seeks to become a member of a LALC, the members of a LALC must be satisfied that the person is in fact Aboriginal and must make a resolution to accept the person as a member, before a LALC Chief Executive Officer can enter their name on a membership roll.

The Mudgee LALC will not write a letter of confirmation of membership, if the person is not first a member of the LALC.

The Mudgee Local Aboriginal Land Council does not issue letters of Confirmation of Aboriginality or Certificates of Aboriginality.
