The Spinifex Permit system is essentially about asking before visiting. Entry to Tjuntjuntjara and surrounding Spinifex Country (most of which is deemed ‘exclusive possession’ under native title law) without the right Permit can result in Aṉangu exercising their right to exclude or forcibly remove people from their land under the law of trespass.
​
Please carefully read the information in the Frequently Asked Questions document to understand what Permit you might require and ensure your Permit is processed without unnecessary delays.
​
All queries regarding Permits are to be directed to Pila Nguru Aboriginal Corporation (Pila Nguru) in the first instance.
