Native indigenous water social, spiritual and customary objectives are to be assessed and addressed in plans where they can be developed. In 1998, amendments to the Native Title Act introduced indigenous land use agreements (ILUAs). These are agreements between a native title group and an interested party in the use and management of lands or waters. Frameworks in place allow significant indigenous representation on committees and the identification of cultural water values. Beyond consultation, this approach incorporates the indigenous authority and rights of control into a governance framework, indigenous traditional leaders in a statutory board, and a natural resources management framework. There is no common framework or organised information sharing among river basin councils to define their strategy and develop their actions.
