'The Federal Court has formally recognised the Kabi Kabi people as native title
holders over 365,345 hectares of land and water on Queensland's Sunshine Coast.
A determination by Justice Berna Collier at a special hearing in Brisbane on
Monday recognised the Kabi Kabi people's non-exclusive rights to an area
including Gympie, Noosa, Maroochydore, Caloundra, Bribie Island and Mudjimba
Island.
Justice Collier told the court she was satisfied the Kabi Kabi people "have and
always have had native title rights and interests in this country".
The determination marks the first occasion on Australia's east coast when
native title has been recognised in a heavily urbanised area.
It is also the first time that the right to "take resources from the area for
any purpose" is being recognised in South-East Queensland.
Previously, the right was limited to personal, communal and non-commercial
purposes.'
