Approximately 50% of the terrestrial area and 85% of the coastline of the NT is Aboriginal freehold land held under the Aboriginal Land Rights (Northern Territory) Act 1976 (Cth) (Land Rights Act). There have also been a number of determinations of native title, and native title rights and interests exist over an additional 25% of the NT. A further 3.9% of the NT is covered by registered native title claims. Land rights and native title rights and interests could extend over 80% of the NT when the claims process is completed. The NT has some of the strongest solar radiation in the world and there is clearly much potential to develop clean energy projects on First Nations titled lands.
