Kabi Kabi people awarded native title over a 356,345-hectare area in Queensland
An Indigenous group have been awarded native title over a 356,345-hectare estate in Queensland.
The Federal Court on Monday formally recognised the Kabi Kabi people as native title holders over the land that includes Noosa, Bribie Island, Gympie, Maroochydore, Caloundra and Mudjimba Island.
The non-exclusive title rights mean the Kabi Kabi people have the right to hunt and camp in the area.
Justice Berna Collier told the court the group 'have and always have had native title rights and interests in this country'.
