5. Outcomes
The land tenure reform pilots measure is generating the following outcomes:

Developing an evidence base and guidance that can be used by other groups to achieve their aspirations.
Demonstrating the value of engagement between government, industry and Indigenous land holders.

6. New ideas?
Funding is available for new pilots, which must be completed by 30 June 2019.
Proposals should focus on Indigenous land holders and deliver practical improvements to their communities.
Proposals need to demonstrate effective processes and lessons learnt so these can provide guidance and be applied to other communities across the north.
You should contact the Department’s Regional Network on to discuss your ideas.
