The Assembly has developed an additional pathway for Traditional Owner groups who do not have formal recognition under legislation to apply for a reserved seat.
Groups can apply directly to the Assembly and will need to meet certain criteria. The Assembly Members will decide whether to grant a group a reserved seat. Once a group is granted a reserved seat, they can choose a representative to sit on the Assembly and work with other elected Members on developing the foundations for future Treaty-making.
Our application process is now open. In this guide you will learn how to apply for a reserved seat on the Assembly.
