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.

Famous quotes containing the words native and/or title:
“The prayers I make will then be sweet indeed,
If thou the spirit give by which I pray;
My unassisted heart is barren clay,
Which of its native self can nothing feed;”
—Michelangelo Buonarroti (1474–1564)
“Now that the steam engine rules the world, a title is an absurdity, still I am all dressed up in this title. It will crush me if I do not support it. The title attracts attention to myself.”
—Stendhal [Marie Henri Beyle] (1783–1842)
