WAGYL KAIP/SOUTHERN NOONGAR

The Noongar Land Estate (NLE), a part of the South West Native Title Settlement, will initially hold up to 300,000 hectares of land allocated as reserve or leasehold and up to 20,000 hectares of land allocated as freehold for cultural or economic development use. The NLE will be held by the Noongar Boodja Trust (NBT) and is intended to provide significant opportunities for the Noongar community to achieve sustainable economic, social and cultural outcomes. The Noongar Land Base Strategy (PDF 152KB) (Annexure J of the Indigenous Land Use Agreements) sets out what land can be allocated and how this will happen.

The Department of Planning, Lands and Heritage (DPLH), on behalf of the State of Western Australia, commenced sending formal land offers to the Noongar Boodja Trust on 12 March 2021. In the Wagyl Kaip/Southern Noongar region, this is comprised of 113 parcels of land, totalling almost 20,000ha. Please view our interactive map for the location of these properties.

Not all land identified on the map will be transferred to the trust. Over the coming weeks, SWALSC’s Noongar regional officers will coordinate a field visit on each parcel of land that is being offered. All Noongar people are welcome to attend these field visits to find out more information about the land and provide feedback. Details are listed below.
