On 9 October 2012, Rares J recognised the Jangga people’s native title rights and interests. The area is located west of Mackay. Broadly, the determination area’s boundary runs north west along the Leichardt Range and crosses the Suttor River near the Burdekin Dam before turning south west and running down towards the Great Dividing Range. Then the boundary turns east traversing the Belyando River and Mistake Creek before running east along the Denham Range and finishing at Glenden.
Other in relation to water, the native title holders hold non-exclusive rights in relation to the land.
