Noongar People Still Determined Despite Court Decision The Federal Court has sent the Single Noongar Native Title Claim back to the Federal Court for a second hearing. However the Court has not set aside the native title claim. The Single Noongar Claim, which covers the south west of Western Australia and includes the Perth metropolitan region, was appealed by the State and Commonwealth Governments in April 2007. Mr Glen Kelly, Chief Executive Officer of the South West Aboriginal Land and Sea Council (SWALSC), said “The court did not overturn the findings in regards to the evidence provided by the Noongar people or that there was a Noongar Society. The Court’s ruling suggests that some of the legal conclusions that Justice Wilcox made in the original case were not consistent with native title law”.
