The Gugu Badhun Aboriginal Corporation RNTBC (GBAC) is the Prescribed Body Corporate (PBC) registered under the Corporations (Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander) Act (Cth) (2006) (CATSI), and holds the Native Title rights, interests and assets as agent of the Gugu Badhun people. GBAC was incorporated with the Office of Registrar of Indigenous Corporation (ORIC) on May 3, 2012 and was registered as a Registered Native Title Body Corporate on August 23, 2012. 

Relevantly, the Gugu Badhun People #2 native title determination application (claim) was lodged in 2005 and covered an area of approximately 6,540 km2.  On 1st August 2012, the Federal Court of Australia determined that native title continued to exist within parts of the claim area and that the Gugu Badhun People held both exclusive rights and interests and non-exclusive rights and interests over the land within the claim area. 

The Gugu Badhun People are the native title holders of country around the upper reaches of the Burdekin River, surrounding the Township of Greenvale that is approximately 220 km north-west of Townsville, Northern Queensland.  

The GBAC Board represents five constituent family groups:  

  • Burdekin Family
