8 Interviewee story summaries Text Box 8.2: PBC Regional Forums The NNTC facilitates PBC Regional Forums around the country, providing PBCs with an opportunity to network, share information and hear about the latest developments and PBC supports available. Speakers and workshops address themes such as governance, native title rights and economic development opportunities. Directors speak about their own experiences, discuss common challenges, shared success stories and local solutions, and learn how to access services and help. The CLC co-organised central Australia’s first prescribed body corporate regional forum in June 2019 and the second in 2021. Around 80 people attended the first and around 100 people attended the second. Representatives from over 20 PBCs participated, gathering at the Ross River Resort, 100 kilometres east of Alice Springs.68 The First Forum saw the launch of Native Title Story,69 the CLC’s series of plain English posters and an illustrated booklet about the Native Title Act and its processes. These have been updated several times since then. The resources explain the complex legislation around native title, which is frequently confused with land rights, and guide native title holders through the process, from researching claims to managing their representative bodies. The CLC’s publication was subsequently adapted by the Kimberly Land Council for its own constituents in Western Australia. In July 2022, the NNTC and Yamatji Marlpa Aboriginal Corporation RNTBC (YMAC) hosted a PBC Regional Forum in Carnavon, WA. This Forum specifically provided information on compensation to native title groups and PBCs.70 The 2022 Kimberley PBC Regional Forum was held in Derby,71 and the 2022 South Australian PBC Regional Forum in Renmark.72 Australian Human Rights Commission 77
