AU Australia property term
Native Title
Australia-wide
Plain-English definition
Rights and interests in land or waters arising from Aboriginal or Torres Strait Islander traditional laws and customs and recognised by Australian law.
Why this matters to a foreign buyer
Native title is especially relevant to Crown land, leases, infrastructure and development approvals. Do not assume a normal Perth freehold purchase presents the same issues as undeveloped Crown land.
