URBAN SERVICES DIVISION REPORTS
11.1 Weslo Holdings - Thebarton Theatre - Request for variation to lease for Hot Dub
Concert
Brief
A request has been received from Weslo Holdings Pty Ltd, lessee of the Thebarton Theatre and
adjacent former Thebarton Council Chambers, seeking to vary the terms of their lease to allow
their use of portion of the carpark, which fronts South Road, in association with the Hot Dub Time
Machine concert on 31 October and 1 November 2014.
RECOMMENDATION(S)
It is recommended to Council that it approve the variation of the lease of the Thebarton Theatre
to:
1.
Allow use of that portion of the car park area delineated by the hatched area in Attachment
2 to this report (and forming portion of area 'C' in the lease), for the Hot Dub Time Machine
concert between the hours of 7:00pm and 10:00pm on 31 October 2014.
2.
Should a further concert occur on 1 November 2014, approval for use of the defined area
also be granted between the hours of 7:00pm and 10:00pm on that date.
3.
The conditions contained within the existing lease agreements be applicable to Weslo's use
of portion of the carpark area.
Introduction
Weslo Holdings Pty Ltd, lessee of the Thebarton Theatre complex has written to Council seeking
a variation to the terms of its lease to allow it to use the South Road carpark in association with
the Hot Dub Time Machine concert on 31 October and 1 November 2014.
Refer Attachment 1
Discussion
Weslo holds existing leases over both the Thebarton Theatre and also the former Thebarton
Civic building and adjacent house at 164 South Road, Torrensville. The Theatre lease expires
on 31 December 2022 and the lease over the former civic building and adjacent house expires
on 30 June 2023. The combined current rental paid is approximately $170,000 pa plus GST.
Under the terms of its respective lease agreements Weslo is permitted the use of the buildings
and use of the South Road (eastern) carpark (referred to as area "C" in the lease and letter of
request and shown as that area delineated in red in Attachment 2) for carparking purposes and
for the loading and unloading of vehicles.
The permitted use does not extend to that which is now sought in accordance with the request
received. Nevertheless, there is precedence for consideration of this matter. At its meeting of 16
July 2013 Council received a deputation and considered a similar request from Weslo Holdings
and the event promoter for use of the eastern (South Road) carpark in association with the Spin
Off event, which was held on 2 August 2013.
URBAN SERVICES STANDING COMMITTEE
7 October 2014
Page 3
Following receipt of the deputation and consideration of the matter Council resolved as follows:
That Council approve the variation of the lease of the Thebarton Theatre to allow use of the car
park area delineated 'C' in the lease, for the Spin Off Music Festival on 2 August 2013 including
set up and set down, subject to:
1.
Security being provided at the bus stop opposite the Thebarton Theatre; and
2.
The hours of the liquor licence for the event being limited to between 2.30pm and 11.30pm
and that no external speakers be permitted in the outside area of the car park.
As indicated in the attached request, Weslo seeks consent for use of portion of the South Road
carpark area (that portion delineated as the blue hatched area in Attachment 2) between the
hours of 7pm and 10pm on October 31 and November 1 2014.
At the time of preparation of this report the theatre website indicated that the event will only occur
on October 31, theatre management are confident that the first show will sell out and that a
second show will be offered by the promoter. If not the consent sought would be confined to 31
October 2014.
From the information provided in Weslo's submission it is also apparent that the Hot Dub event is
likely to have fewer perceived negative impacts than the Spin Off event, based on:
•
•
•
•
the shorter time frame of the Hot Dub event ("standard" concert hours/timespan i.e. 3 hours
rather than 12 hours),
the lack of continued access to the premises during the show (as opposed to patrons
visiting and leaving Spin Off to see specific acts and not others);
the eastern theatre doors being closed for the duration of the event; and
the lack of a number of mobile and catering food vans in the carpark area.
It is nonetheless important to acknowledge that:
(a)
(b)
Council received no complaints following the conduct of the Spin Off event in August last
year; and
the conditions within the existing lease agreements address matters such as noise and
nuisance which may arise in association with the use of the premises.
As Weslo further indicates in its submission, in addition to the expectation of minimal or no
anticipated inconvenience there will also be some positive outcomes (e.g. theatre patrons will not
mill on Henley Beach Road) which will arise should Council provide its consent to their request to
use portion of the carpark area during this event.
Conclusion
Council has received a request from Weslo Holdings seeking to vary the terms of its lease
agreement to allow portion of the eastern carpark to be used in association with an event on 31
October (and possibly 1 November 2014). Given that the carpark was utilised for a previous
event with no resulting complaints, and that the forthcoming event is likely to have fewer (if any)
negative impacts than the previous event, it is recommended that the request be supported.

11.2 Former Lockleys Kindergarten - Revocation of Community Land
Brief
This report seeks a formal Council resolution to revoke the Community Land Classification of
land and buildings formerly known as the Lockleys Kindergarten located at 14A Rowells Road,
Lockleys.
RECOMMENDATION(S)
It is recommended to Council that:
1.
Having received approval on 10 September 2014 from the Minister for Planning and in
accordance with Section 194(3)(b) of the Local Government Act 1999, Council revokes the
Community Land Classification of the property formally described in Certificate of Title
5516/851 (Allotment 74 Deposited Plan 4495) 14A Rowells Road, Lockleys.
2.
Pursuant to Section 207 of the Local Government Act 1999, the Chief Executive Officer be
authorised to amend Council's Community Land Register by removing reference to the land
described in Recommendation 1 above.
3.
The Chief Executive Officer review the options for progressing the sale of the property and
report back to Council following his investigations.
Introduction
Subsequent to the Department of Education and Childhood Development (DECD) determining in
early 2013 that the Lockleys Kindergarten site was not deemed to be appropriate for its
continued use, Council determined to commence the process of revoking the community land
classification of this parcel of land.
Discussion
At the meeting held on 21 January 2014, Council endorsed the Revocation Report for the former
Lockleys Kindergarten located at 14A Rowells Road, Lockleys for public consultation as required
under Section 194 of the Local Government Act 1999 and in accordance with Council's Public
Consultation Policy A/17/1.
Notification of the proposal was placed in the Messenger Newspaper on 19 and 26 March 2014.
In addition, copies of the Revocation Report were available for viewing on Council's website and
at the Civic Centre. Advice on the proposal was distributed to approximately 300 households
and businesses in the immediate vicinity of the former Lockleys Kindergarten and notification
posters were placed on/adjacent the entry gates on the southern and western (street frontage)
sides of the property's boundary fencing.
All notifications provided details of the proposal and advised locations to view the documentation.
Contact details for further information were also advised with submissions closing on 17 April
2014.
Section 194(3) of the Local Government Act 1999 requires Council to consider any feedback or
response arising from the public consultation process. Three parties provided responses in
regard to the revocation proposal. The concerns raised related to possible redevelopment of the
site and/or consequent detrimental impact on the significant stand of trees on the site, and the
lack of suitable alternate open space within the immediate vicinity of the former Lockleys
Kindergarten property.
URBAN SERVICES STANDING COMMITTEE
7 October 2014
Page 8
In regard to the potential redevelopment of the site it was noted that any proposal that may
impact on the stand of significant trees would require development consent. It was also noted
that the Mellor Park Reserve, which provides considerable open space, is located a short
distance from the former Lockleys Kindergarten property.
Given the above, there was no impediment preventing Council from proceeding with the proposal
and seeking formal approval from the Minister to revoke the Community Land Classification.
At the meeting held on 1 July 2014, Council, having completed all requirements of the Local
Government Act 1999, resolved to seek approval from the Minister to revoke the Community
Land Classification of 14A Rowells Road, Lockleys to enable the eventual sale of the property.
This approval has now been granted in writing (Attachment 2).
Having received approval on 10 September 2014 from the Minister for Planning and in
accordance with Section 194(3)(b) of the Local Government Act 1999, it is recommended that
Council now resolve to revoke the Community Land Classification of the property formally
described in Certificate of Title 5516/851 (Allotment 74 Deposited Plan 4495) 14A Rowells Road,
Lockleys.
It is further recommended that the Chief Executive Officer be authorised to amend Council's
Community Land Register by removing reference to the land as formally described above.
Given that the property is currently vacant, it is recommended that the Chief Executive Officer
review the options for progressing the sale of the property and report back to Council following
his investigations.
Conclusion
Ministerial approval for revocation of the land at 14A Rowells Road, Lockleys allows Council to
proceed with disposal of the site if and at such time as it considers appropriate.

GOVERNANCE REPORTS
11.1 City of West Torrens Social Media
Brief
This report details the first three months of social media activity for the City of West Torrens.
RECOMMENDATION
It is recommended to Council that this report be received.
Introduction
At its 1 July 2014, Council resolved that:
1.
2.
3.
The Social Media Use and Management Council Policy be approved.
The 'City of West Torrens' and the 'Hamra Centre Library' social media pages be
created for Facebook and Twitter and the City of West Torrens Linkedin page be
populated and used.
The monitoring and moderating of comments and posts on these two sites occurs
between the hours of 8am and 9pm, Monday to Friday.
Subsequently, the following Twitter™ and Facebook™ profiles were launched on 15 July 2014:
Twitter Profile
@WestTorrens
Facebook Profile
City of West Torrens
@HamraCentre
Hamra Centre Library
Social media management software is used to manage the distribution of posts to all profiles and
allow for monitoring and moderating of posts etc. The software also contains a reporting tool from
which reports on the take up and usage of Council's four pages, including the 'traffic' to pages.
The reports for the 15 July to 15 September 2014 period are attached for information as follows:
Attachment 1 - City of West Torrens Facebook Page Report.
Attachment 2 - @WestTorrens Twitter Page Report.
Attachment 3 - Hamra Centre Library Facebook Page Report.
Attachment 4 - @HamraCentre Twitter Page Report.
Attachment 5 - @WestTorrens and @HamraCentre Twitter Page Comparison Report.
These reports provide a range of information including the number of likes/followers, number of
shares/publishing, impressions/views, activity by day of week and demographics of users
(including countries and cities of viewers) etc.
Discussion
Since the launch of Council's social media presence, all four pages have seen reasonable growth
with the @WestTorrens twitter page proving to be the most popular.
GOVERNANCE STANDING COMMITTEE
7 October 2014
Page 3
The four pages have been used to communicate a range of different messages to the public
including:
•
•
•
•
•
•
information about hard rubbish collection
upcoming Council events
Council elections
topical information such as Brown Hill Keswick Creek report release
community announcements
links to community consultation projects on the City of West Torrens' website.
The most popular of these subjects appear to be those that residents considered they could be
personally involved with or found interesting enough to share with others. In relation to the two
City of West Torrens profiles, reminders of upcoming hard rubbish collections, enrolling to vote,
nominating for Council and dog registrations have proven the most popular topics.
In relation to the two Hamra Centre profiles, competitions, events and child-centric posts have
been those which people have engaged with the most.
Since the launch of Council's social media profiles, there has been a growth in customer service
requests, via these profiles, relating to rubbish collection, street modifications and staff feedback.
Generally, these have been dealt with quickly and the person requesting the information has
been publicly appreciative for the prompt response, even when the initial request was negative in
character. This prompt response has, in many cases, resulted in the complainant being
subsequently very appreciative of the assistance provided. Overall, the interactions through
social media have been productive and generated good online relations.
Definitions
Facebook term: Like
Twitter term: Follow
The Like button is the way Facebook users keep up to date with a person or organisation they
are interested in. When a user clicks 'Like' on a Facebook Page text will appear on this user's
personal Facebook page noting that they have 'liked' something. They will then be kept up to
date with that person/organisation's content and activities. Once a person has 'liked' a page, they
become known as a 'follower' of that page.
On Twitter, the 'Follow' button is the equivalent of Facebook's 'Like' button. Once a user 'Follows'
someone on Twitter, all of their Tweets (messages) will appear on a page dedicated to the
people and organisations this user follows.
Facebook term: Share
Twitter term: Retweet
By clicking the 'Share' button under content on a Facebook page, the user instantly shares that
content on their own Facebook page. This 'Share' button is the way content can reach so many
people. For example, the City of West Torrens and Hamra Centre Library profiles have a
combined following of 251 followers. When any of these followers share Council information, the
network of people the content is shown to expands, and information is seen by more users.
On Twitter, the 'Retweet' button has the same role as Facebook's 'Share' button. By retweeting
another user's content, a user will share it on their own profile therefore making it visible to their
followers. As with the 'Share' button, the 'Retweet' button is what allows content to be seen by
many.

Facebook term: Post View
Twitter term: People Reached
A Post View refers to the number of times Facebook content has been seen by other Facebook
users.
People Reached refers to the number of times Twitter content has been seen by other Twitter
users.
Facebook
As per the Facebook Page Reports (Attachments 1 and 3), both the City of West Torrens and
Hamra Centre Library pages had an initial spike in followers (likes) immediately after going live
but, as expected, this dropped off dramatically for both.
Initially, the Hamra Centre Library page performed better on Facebook than City of West Torrens
page but over the first quarter this has changed and now both pages are on par with
followers/likes. The City of West Torrens profile is performing better than the Hamra Centre
Library profile in regards to how many people are seeing (page impressions), sharing and
interacting with the posts, which is interesting given the more social and light-hearted nature of
the Hamra Centre posts (refer to the Attachments 1 and 3 for a full detailed breakdown and
comparison of all four profiles).

@HamraCentre page (Attachment 4) and the Twitter Comparison Report (Attachment 5)
indicate that the @HamraCentre page has remained relatively inactive, gaining less than one

Stage 2 Social Media
During the next few months the Administration will actively promote Council's social media
presence through various mediums (e.g. Talking Points and promotional materials). The
Administration will also continue to cross promote between the website, Facebook and Twitter
and will investigate other online mediums to entice people to these profiles.
Conclusion

11.2 Annual Report - Confidential Items 2013-2014
Brief
This report presents the 'Confidential Items Annual Report' in accordance with the requirements
of the Local Government Act 1999.
RECOMMENDATION
It is recommended to Council that this report be received.
Introduction
Schedule 4 of the Local Government Act 1999 (SA) (the Act) requires the inclusion of a summary
of confidential items in Council's Annual Report. In addition, and as is customary practice, a
report is required to be presented to Council on an annual basis on the use of s90 and s91 of the
Act (confidentiality orders). This report, in accordance with Schedule 4 of the Act, details the use
of these provisions during the 2013/14 financial year as well as the use of s56A(12) of the
Development Act 1993 by the Development Assessment Panel (DAP).
Discussion
Council and Committee Meetings and Minutes
Confidential Orders
Section 90(1) of the Act, specifies that Council and Committee meetings must be conducted in a
public place but recognises that on occasions this principle is outweighed by the need to keep
information or discussions confidential. Consequently, s90(2) provides Council or a Council
Committee with the ability to order the exclusion of the public from the relevant section of a
meeting to enable it to consider and discuss a matter in confidence. However, this order can only
be invoked in relation to subject matter detailed in s90(3) of the Act, i.e. matters or information
relating to actual litigation, tenders for the supply of goods, the provision of services or the
carrying out of works etc. and, if required, the subject matter passing the public interest test.
Number of Confidential Orders Invoked During 2013/14
During the 2013/14 financial year, Council invoked s90(3) a total of ten (10) times in order to
consider and discuss matters in confidence as detailed in the table below (Attachment 1). This
equates to 1.74% of all business items presented to Council during the 2013/14 financial year
and is significantly lower than the arbitrary maximum of 3% which was proposed by the South
Australian Ombudsman in 2012, in his report titled "In the Public Eye".
Minutes
Section 91 of the Act subsequently provides that the Chief Executive Officer (CEO) must ensure
that the minutes of Council or Council Committee meetings are kept. It should be noted that while
Council may discuss a matter in confidence at a meeting, where possible it will release the
minutes of the confidential items along with the remainder of the minutes of that meeting, usually
on the Friday following the meeting. However, s91(7)(a) and (b) of the Act provides that the
agenda, documents and minutes of a matter considered in confidence can be retained in
confidence if Council so orders. This 'confidential order' must specify the duration of the
confidential order and the reasons why the matter is being retained in confidence and, if required,
how the confidential order passes the public interest test.

Status of Confidential Orders
Of the ten (10) business items retained in confidence during the 2013/14 financial year:
•
•
Documentation associated with four (4) of these business items was released within 6
months of the meeting at which it was resolved to retain the information in confidence.
Documentation associated with the remaining six (6) business items continues to be subject
to confidentiality orders and retained in confidence as at 30 June 2014.
The table in Attachment 1 details:
•
•
•
The use of s90(3) by Council to enable it to discuss a matter in confidence;
The use of s91(7) to retain the associated documents in confidence; and
The status of the s91(7) order as at 30 June 2014.
Development Assessment Panel Meetings and Minutes
Section 56A(12) of the Development Act 1993 provides the Development Assessment Panel
(DAP) with the ability to consider and discuss a matter in confidence where the matter meets the
criteria detailed in that section.
From 1 July 2013 to 30 June 2014, ten (10) items of DAP business were dealt with in confidence
pursuant to s56A(12)(a)(vi) and s56A(12)(a)(viii) in that the disclosure of information within the
business items could reasonably be expected to prejudice the maintenance of law, including by
affecting (or potentially affecting) the prevention, detection or investigation of a criminal offence
or the right to a fair trial and related to legal advice. This equates to 5.95% of all business items
presented to DAP during the 2013/14 financial year however, due to the judicial nature of the
DAP, its business items are not subject to the arbitrary 3% maximum.
All items dealt with and retained in confidence, in accordance with the provisions of Section
56A(12)(a)(vi) and (viii) of the Development Act 1993, were unavailable for public viewing until
resolved by the Environment, Resources and Development (ERD) Court.
The table in Attachment 2 details the status of the ten (10) items considered and retained in
confidence by the DAP.
Informal Gatherings
Elected Members participated in twenty eight (28) informal gatherings, including seven (7)
workshops, which were not open to the public. The sole purpose of these informal gatherings
was to provide education/training or information to Elected Members. No decisions were made,
nor were they held in such a way as to effectively obtain a decision outside of a Council meeting,
during these gatherings.

11.3 Request to Fly Eureka Stockade Flag
Brief
This report presents a request from the Spirit of Eureka Committee (South Australia) for the flying
of the Eureka Stockade Flag from Monday 1 December to Wednesday 3 December 2014.
RECOMMENDATION(S)
It is recommended to Council that:
1.
It flies the Eureka Stockade Flag from Monday 1 December to Wednesday 3 December
2014.
2.
The offer of a loan of a Eureka Stockade Flag from the Spirit of Eureka Committee (South
Australia), to be flown from Monday 1 December to Wednesday 3 December 2014, be
accepted.
Introduction
Correspondence has been received from the Spirit of Eureka Committee (South Australia)
requesting that Council flies the Eureka Stockade Flag (the Flag) from Saturday 29 November to
Wednesday 3 December 2014 inclusive to commemorate the 160th anniversary of the Eureka
rebellion (Attachment 1).
Council’s Flags policy allows for the flying of the Flag with Council approval, which it has done in
previous years throughout the whole of the commemorative period.
Discussion
The Spirit of Eureka Committee (the Committee) was established in the lead up to the 150th
anniversary of the Eureka Stockade in 2004, to ‘give a strong and united voice to the current
struggles of Australia’s working people’. The Committee advises that ‘The Spirit of Eureka draws
on the continuity and relevance of this important event in the history of Australia to present day
endeavours and struggles for justice, democracy and sovereignty’.
The Committee does acknowledge that the Flag has, on occasions, been misused and therefore
may be incorrectly perceived by the public. Alternatively, many people see the commemoration
of the Eureka rebellion as an event of national historical significance and as a key event in the
development of Australian democracy and identity.
At its 1 July 2014, Council resolved to fly the Rainbow Flag during the Feast Festival between 15
and 30 November 2014. As this slightly overlaps with period requested for the flying of the
Eureka Flag, the Administration contacted the Spirit of Eureka Committee (South Australia) to
discuss this overlap. Consequently, the Spirit of Eureka Committee (South Australia) has verbally
amended their request for the flying of the Flag from Monday 1 December to Wednesday 3
December 2014.
As was the case last year, the Spirit of Eureka Committee (South Australia) has met the criteria
of Council's Flag Policy in that the Flag neither promotes commercial advertising or political
messages, is made of durable material, has a standard fitting for attachment and is not more
than approximately 1830mm by 920 mm in size. As identified in Council's Flag Policy, the Spirit
of Eureka Committee (South Australia) will loan Council a flag for the period of time that the Flag
is to be flown. If Council approves this request the Flag will be delivered and collected by a
member of the Committee.

Conclusion
With a growing number of councils taking the opportunity to acknowledge the significance of
Eureka Week, it is recommended that this Council once again flies the Flag from Monday 1
December to Wednesday 3 December to commemorate this significant event in Australia's
history.

11.4 Kaurna Native Title Claim Update
Brief
The report provides an update on the Kaurna Native Title Claim.
RECOMMENDATION
It is recommended to Council that this report be received.
Introduction
The Kaurna people submitted a native title claim (the Claim) with the Federal Court of Australia
(the Court), over land which includes the City of West Torrens, in 2000.
Since the last Claim update was provided to Council in November 2013, the Claim has been held
over by the Court on two occasions, 20 March 2014 and 26 June 2014 to enable the preservation
of evidence to proceed. The preservation of evidence allows for the gathering of evidence from
older claimants that can be submitted even in the event that they pass away before the matter
proceeds to trial.
This report details the outcomes of the recent directions hearing callover (the Hearing) in the
Court before Justice Mansfield on 8 September 2014.
Discussion
Below is a summary of the outcomes of this Hearing. The full details are contained in the
correspondence received from Norman Waterhouse Lawyers, the lawyers acting on behalf of
Council in this matter (Attachment 1).
The Court has ordered that:
• the preservation of evidence, managed by the State Government is to continue;
• the matters associated with extinguishment of native title in respect of this Claim, be directed
to case management;
• the hearing be adjourned to 4 March 2015.
It is worth noting that the process associated with extinguishment of native title is at a very
preliminary stage so is likely to take up to two years to finalise and may require the State
Government to consult more regularly with Local Government to determine the status of various
parcels of land within the outer boundaries of the Claim.
Conclusion
The Kaurna Native Title Claim is progressing with relevant parties reporting back to the Federal
Court of Australia as required by that Court. Preservation of evidence is continuing and the Court
has ordered that the matters relating to extinguishment of native title be directed to case
management which could take up to two years to finalise.
An update report will be provided to Council following the 4 March 2015 directions callover
hearing.

11.5 Ramindjeri Native Title Claim
Brief
This report provides an update on the Ramindjeri Native Title Claim.
RECOMMENDATION
It is recommended to Council that the Ramindjeri Native Title Claim update be received.
Introduction
In 2010 the Ramindjeri people submitted a Native Title Claim (the Claim) with the Federal Court
of Australia (the Court) over land which overlaps and includes the City of West Torrens and
which overlaps the Kaurna Native Title claim.
Discussion
The previous report to Council on this matter, in November 2013, indicated that the State
Government had submitted a 'strike out' application (the application) on the basis that:
a)
The Ramindjeri people were not a separate group but a subgroup of the Ngarrindjeri people
therefore, they could not pursue a native title claim in their own right unless there was a
significant anthropological basis to it.
b)
The meeting to establish the Claim was not conducted correctly therefore the Claim was
invalid.
Since then, the State Government has withdrawn its claim that the Ramindjeri people were not a
separate group and progressed its strike out application on the basis that the meeting to
establish the Claim was not conducted correctly making the Claim invalid. However, the
Ngarrindjeri people have continued to pursue the application on both grounds.
At a hearing held on 5 September 2014 before His Honour Justice Mansfield the Court 'struck
out' the Claim.
The basis for this is summarised below however, the determination is detailed in full in the
attached correspondence from the lawyers acting on behalf of Council in this matter, Norman
Waterhouse Lawyers (Attachment 1).
The Court struck out the Claim on the grounds that the meeting purported to authorise the Claim:
a)
Was not conducted properly nor in the traditional way;
b)
Did not involve all the Ramindjeri People that could vote;
c)
Was found to be invalid on the basis that it was alleged that the meeting was part of a
process of previous meetings but no records of these meetings existed.
However, Justice Mansfield indicated that there was insufficient information to preclude the
Ramindjeri people from lodging a future Claim in the correct format and using the correct process
but that if this was the case, it is anticipated that the Claim would be over a much smaller area.
The Ramindjeri people have 21 days to appeal the Court's decision to the Full Court of the
Federal Court of Australia. If they elect not to lodge an appeal within this timeframe, the matter
will be finalised.
Norman Waterhouse has advised Council that there is now no need to deal with the Ramindjeri
people unless they advise otherwise.
GOVERNANCE STANDING COMMITTEE

Page 28
Conclusion
The Federal Court of Australia has struck out the Native Title Claim lodged by the Ramindjeri
people and if an appeal against this decision is not made by 26 September 2014, the matter is
concluded and no further reporting to Council is required. However, the Court has not precluded
the Ramindjeri people from lodging a future Native Title Claim in the correct manner using the
correct processes.
