Australia's biggest native title settlement, worth $1.3b, registered three years after deal struck

Australia's largest native title settlement, worth about $1.3 billion, has been officially accepted for registration, more than three years after a deal was struck to resolve claims in the state's South West.

The step formalises a land use agreement between Noongar people and the West Australian Government and covers an area from Jurien in the north to Ravensthorpe in the south.
