J.W. WEATHERILL (Cheltenham—Minister for Environment and Conservation, Minister for Early Childhood Development, Minister for Aboriginal Affairs and Reconciliation, Minister Assisting the Premier in Cabinet Business and Public Sector Management): The conditions under which an application for permission to enter the lands must be made are set out in Section 19 of the Anangu Pitjantjatjara Yankunyjatjara Lands Rights Act 1981. An application for permission to enter the lands: may be made by an applicant on the applicant's own behalf, or on behalf of a group of persons; must, unless the Executive Board otherwise allows, be in writing and lodged with the Executive Board; and set out : the purpose for which entry to the lands is sought; the period for which entry to the land is sought; and the time and place at which the applicant, or the group on whose behalf the application is made, seeks to enter the lands; be accompanied by the prescribed application fee; furnish such further information as requested by Anangu Pitjantjatjara Yankunytjatjara which it reasonably requires to determine the application. Anangu Pitjantjatjara Yankunytjatjara (APY) has established protocols for the applications for entry to the APY Lands. Permits are available in four categories: general, employee, research and media. Those applying for permits under the employee or research categories are required to provide a police clearance certificate. For media permits, applications require further information describing the protocols for filming on the APY lands, an agreement to film on APY Lands, and a written application responding to a number of assessment criteria. The application is then assessed by PY Media that then makes a recommendation to APY Executive.
