Measuring impact of land rights

The NSW Aboriginal Land Rights Act (ALRA) was passed in 1983 and in the three decades since then Aboriginal Land Councils have accumulated more than 80,000 hectares of land valued at over $2 billion. Now, for the first time, a study led by Professor Heidi Norman is looking at how the Aboriginal community perceive the benefits of land repossession under the Act.

Acknowledgement of Country

UTS acknowledges the Gadigal people of the Eora Nation, the Boorooberongal people of the Dharug Nation, the Bidiagal people and the Gamaygal people, upon whose ancestral lands our university stands. We would also like to pay respect to the Elders both past and present, acknowledging them as the traditional custodians of knowledge for these lands.
