ABC News reports ‘Kimberley’s El Questro split into tourism and nature reserve under new Indigenous land use deal’ after it was announced that El Questro Station will no longer be a pastoral lease. Traditional Owners have secured a nature reserve and freehold title over 165,000ha, and the 99 year lease means tourism will continue at the popular Homestead with G’day Group.
“It marks a historic change in tenure to the 165,000-hectare pastoral station, first granted by the Crown in 1903. A new Indigenous Land Use Agreement has been struck between Wilinggin Aboriginal Corporation (WAC) and the West Australian government to change the pastoral lease to both freehold and reserve tenures.” – Ted O’Connor and Vanessa Mills, ABC News.
