Darumbal People Aboriginal Corporation Registered Native Title Body (DPAC RNTBC) primary function is to address issues relating to the social and economic disadvantage that are confronted by Darumbal people.
On 27 March 2013, the Federal Court of Australia made orders partitioning the Darumbal people’s native title application into two parts, Part A and Part B. The Darumbal people’s native title rights and interests were originally recognised by the Collier J on 21 June 2016 with respect to Part A. The land and waters subject to that determination were those located along the central coast of Queensland in the region of the city of Rockhampton. On 1 December 2016, Rangiah made a positive native title determination with respect to Part B, which encompassed approximately 10,365 hectares of land and waters in central Queensland.
DPAC work with Australian Defence Force (ASMTI project), local companies and businesses to secure Employment, Training and Indigenous Business Opportunities for Darumbal People and community members who live on Darumbal Country.
Darumbal Enterprise works hard to maintain and ensure our Cultural Heritage Management and Cultural Significant sites are protected for the future of Darumbal People.

ONE of Queensland’s longest-running native title claims is a step closer to resolution with the Darumbal People today expected to gain recognition as Native Title Holders over more than 14,500 sq km of land and waters throughout the Rockhampton region.
As the Federal Court handed down the Darumbal People Native Title Consent determination yesterday, the weight of the decision was clear in Nyoka Hatfield's face. Fighting back tears, the Rockhampton born and bred Darumbul woman said the recognition was "an end and a beginning" for her people.
The Darumbal People of Central Queensland have welcomed the opportunity to rebuild their community and “achieve its full potential” following a Federal Court decision that recognises them as the traditional owners of their land.
The Darumbal people of central Queensland were recognised as the traditional owners of their land a Federal Court decision on June 21. The native title claim was first made in 1997, making it one of the longest-running claims in Queensland.
