Native Title Determinations
The National Native Title Register (NNTR) is a register of approved native title determinations and is maintained by the NNTT. As part of the determination of native title, native title groups are required to nominate a Native Title Prescribed Body Corporate to hold (as trustee) or manage (as agent) their native title. Following a determination, Prescribed Bodies Corporate are entered onto the NNTR. At this point, the corporation becomes a Registered Native Title Body Corporate (RNTBC).
On 1 July 2011, the 160 registered determinations of native title (that native title does or does not exist) covered some 1,228,373 km2 (or approximately 16 per cent) of the land mass of Australia.
