The Prescribed Body Corporate (PBC) research snapshot series has been developed to share findings from the Native Title Research Unit’s (NTRU) investigation into the constitutions and financial reports of PBCs. This research forms part of the PBC Capability project which aims to develop a long-term national picture of the PBC sector.
This snapshot looks at the dispute management processes within PBC constitutions, examining the use of NTRBs, independent mediation and elder’s councils to resolve disputes.
PBCs can request general assistance from the NNTT in relation to things like mapping, Register searches and negotiating ILUAs or future act agreements.
In particular, the s 60AAA amendment to the NTA allows PBCs and common law holders to request the NNTT to provide assistance in promoting agreement about matters relating to native title or the operation of the NTA. This includes NNTT assistance in the resolution of native title PBC disputes.
