The Settlement, involving six Noongar Native Title Agreement Groups, and covering 200,000 square kilometres of land, represents significant social and economic investment in the Noongar community and the shared future of Western Australia.\nOn 8 June 2015, after extensive negotiations, and authorisation by the Noongar people, the Western Australian Government signed (executed) the six South West Native Title Settlement Agreements with the Ballardong, Gnaala Karla Booja, South West Boojarah, Wagyl Kaip & Southern Noongar, Whadjuk and Yued groups.\nThe Settlement as a whole will only become fully effective after all of the six Agreements have been conclusively registered in accordance with the Native Title Act 1993 (Cth), and any related court proceedings have been resolved.\nFor the latest information see the ‘status of the Settlement’ section of the Department of the Premier and Cabinet website (\u0013 HYPERLINK \"http://www.dpc.wa.gov.au/lantu\" \u0014http:/www.dpc.wa.gov.au/lantu\u0015).\n\u000fNoongar Standard Heritage Agreement\nThe Noongar Standard Heritage Agreement (NSHA) provides a uniform and efficient approach for conducting Aboriginal Heritage Surveys in the South West Native Title Settlement Area.  The NSHA provides all parties with a clear, timetabled framework about their various obligations in compliance with the Aboriginal Heritage Act 1972.  The NSHA also delivers a process for improving the quality of data on the Aboriginal Heritage Inquiry System (AHIS). The NSHA process is informed by the WA Government’s ‘Aboriginal Heritage Due Diligence Guidelines’.\nWhen did the NSHA commence?\nThe NSHA commenced on the 8 June 2015, the same date on which the Western Australian Government signed (executed) the six South West Native Title Settlement Agreements (ILUAs).\nWhere does the NSHA apply?\nThe NSHA applies to the whole of the South West Native Title Settlement Area.\nWho must use the NSHA?\nWA Government Land Users\nWA Government land users are required to enter into and follow the NSHA if an Aboriginal Heritage Survey is required and a pre-existing heritage agreement was not in place as at 8 June 2015.\nIf a WA Government land user has a pre-existing heritage agreement that it wishes to continue to operate, it need not enter into a NSHA. Alternatively, a pre-existing heritage agreement can be replaced by the NSHA (to the extent they cover the same subject matter) by listing the existing agreement in 'Schedule 2' of the NSHA.\nIt is recommended a NSHA is entered into, and an 'Activity Notice' issued under the NSHA, if there is a risk that an activity will unlawfully 'impact' (i.e. by excavating, damaging, destroying or altering in any way) an Aboriginal site. The Aboriginal Heritage Due Diligence Guidelines are referenced by the NSHA and provide guidance on how to assess potential risk to Aboriginal heritage.  The Guidelines can be viewed at: \u0013 HYPERLINK \"http://www.daa.wa.gov.au/globalassets/pdf-files/ddg\" \u0014http://www.daa.wa.gov.au/globalassets/pdf-files/ddg\u0015\nRegistered holders of a Mining or Petroleum Tenement or Access Authority\nRegistered holders of a Mining or Petroleum Tenement or Access Authority granted after 8 June 2015 will have a heritage condition on their title requiring them to enter into a Heritage Agreement with SWALSC, on behalf of the relevant Noongar Native Title Agreement Group, before any rights can be exercised.  This may be the NSHA or another form of Heritage Agreement agreed to by SWALSC.\nSee the Department of Mines, Industry Regulation and Safety website for information about the grant of mining tenure over the Settlement area:\n\u0013 HYPERLINK \"http://www.dmp.wa.gov.au/Minerals/South-West-Native-Title-","cbCaigfF1QTcDQdE","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaigfF1QTcDQdE","docx",797678,7,"English","# The South West Native Title Settlement\n## What the Settlement is\n## When the agreements were executed\n## When the Settlement becomes fully effective\n# Noongar Standard Heritage Agreement (NSHA)\n## Purpose and scope\n## Commencement date\n## Where the NSHA applies\n## Who must use the NSHA\n## Guidance for other land users and alternative approaches","[{\"question\":\"When did the Noongar Standard Heritage Agreement (NSHA) commence?\",\"answer\":\"The NSHA commenced on 8 June 2015, the same date on which the Western Australian Government executed the six South West Native Title Settlement Agreements (ILUAs).\"},{\"question\":\"Where does the NSHA apply?\",\"answer\":\"The NSHA applies to the whole of the South West Native Title Settlement Area.\"},{\"question\":\"Who must use the NSHA under the factsheet?\",\"answer\":\"WA Government land users must enter into and follow the NSHA when an Aboriginal Heritage Survey is required and no pre-existing heritage agreement was in place as at 8 June 2015.
