The Djiru Warrangburra Aboriginal Corporation RNTBC act as agents for the Djiru People. 

On 7 March 2003, a group of people, on behalf of the Djiru People, filed two applications (Djiru #1 and #2). Djiru #1 was discontinued. On 7 July 2003, the applicants filed another application (Djiru #3). 

On 1 September 2011, Dowsett J made a positive native title determination with respect to Djiru #2. The exclusive and non-exclusive native title rights in the determination area were recognised. On the same day, Dowsett J made the same recognition with respect to Djiru #3.

The Djiru People have today been recognised as native title holders of 9,440 hectares of land and waters in Mission Beach and surrounding areas including areas of national parks, reserves, unallocated State land and other leases.

A nine-year fight for recognition by Djiru traditional owners on far north Queensland's Cassowary Coast will end today with a native title determination.
