Before use
Replace every bracketed field and remove instructions before using a document. Identify the entity, state or territory, governing Act, current registered rule book or constitution and any applicable policy first. A NSW or NT land council is not automatically a CATSI corporation. A PBC or RNTBC must separately consider native title consultation and consent requirements; an ordinary board or member vote does not necessarily satisfy them. Check notice, eligibility, quorum, voting, recording, lodgment and review requirements for the particular matter. These are advocacy preparation resources, not legal advice, legal services or a guarantee of compliance.
