The Northern Land Council was established in 1973 to represent traditional Aboriginal landowners and Aboriginal people in the Top End of the Northern Territory of Australia.
The most important responsibilities of the NLC are to consult with traditional landowners and other Aborigines with an interest in the land.
This is to make sure the landowners as a group give their informed consent before the Land Council or a Land Trust enters into any agreement, or takes any action affecting their land. It also ensures that affected Aboriginal communities and groups have the chance to express their views and that land use agreements entered into are reasonable. These principles are fundamental to the Aboriginal Land Rights (Northern Territory) Act 1976.
The NLC also acts as a representative body for native title claimants in its area under the Native Title Act 1993.

We’re the Australian Conservation Foundation, Australia’s national environment organisation.
Since 1965, we’ve protected the nature we all love – our unique wildlife and our beautiful beaches and bush.
Driven by the power of people, we won World Heritage listing for the Great Barrier Reef and Kakadu National Park, and returned precious water to the rivers of the Murray-Darling.
We influence governments and businesses to protect the animals, rivers and reefs close to our hearts and hold decision-makers to account without fear or favour. Everything we do is evidence-based and helps nature and people thrive for generations to come.
We won’t give up until Australia’s nature is protected and regenerated.
Nature needs us, now.
