About:

Storey & Ward Lawyers are pleased to announce their next Melbourne professional development (CPD) seminar, providing training and expertise in the area of Land Rights, Native Title, Indigenous Cultural Heritage, and associated legal and policy developments.

The Native Title & Indigenous Cultural Heritage Law seminar introduces Land Rights in Australia, the theory of Native Title, the Native Title Future Acts regime, and Indigenous Cultural Heritage law.

“Land justice is about much more than Mabo, it’s about a complicated web of statutory, legislative and spiritual responsibilities for Country.”

The seminar will also provide an opportunity to participate in discussion with senior Traditional Owner Liz Allen, about how rights & responsibilities to culture & Country are enacted within statutory and regulatory environments.

Designed for those working in the area, including heritage advisors, professionals working in planning, environmental regulation or community policy areas, lawyers (providing up to 6 CPD points subject to jurisdictional requirements), and those interested in Native Title & Cultural Heritage more generally, this seminar provides a good working understanding of Native Title, Cultural Heritage law and associated regulatory and statutory regimes.

“To really understand the complex environment of Traditional Owner rights, you have to talk to people with lived experience.”

This seminar focuses primarily on the Victorian state regime, together with a broad look at relevant Commonwealth legislation.

This all day seminar (9:00am - 4:00pm) will be held on Wednesday 13 November 2024 in Naarm at University House at The Woodward (10th Floor, Melbourne Law School, 185 Pelham Street, Carlton). It includes resource materials, morning & afternoon tea & a light networking lunch.
