About WYAC
We are the Wangkangurru Yarluyandi Aboriginal Corporation RNTBC.
The Wangkangurru Yarluyandi Aboriginal Corporation RNTBC (WYAC) began in 2014 with the intention of being the Registered Native Title Body Corporate (RNTBC) to represent the Wangkangurru Yarluyandi to their native title area.
WYAC was appointed as the RNTBC when the Federal Court of Australia granted a Consent Determination of native Tttle to the Wangkangurru Yarluyandi People at Birdsville on 3 October 2014.
As the RNTBC, WYAC represents the Wangkangurru Yarluyandi People in relation to its dealings with a third parties such as the State, petroleum and mining companies, and others who wish to undertake work in the Wangkangurru Yarluyandi lands.
