AN historic settlement agreement has granted traditional ownership of 266,500 hectares of land in central Victoria to the Dja Dja Wurrung people, bypassing the Commonwealth's Native Title Act 1993.
The agreement provides for joint management of six parks and reserves in the Loddon Mallee and Central Goldfields regions and the transfer of historically and culturally significant land at Franklinford and Carisbrook.
Victorian Attorney-General Robert Clark said it was the first native title agreement completed in the state without any determination of native title in the courts.
The agreement, under the Victoria's Traditional Owner Settlement Act 2010, requires the Dja Dja Wurrung people to withdraw existing native title claims under the Commonwealth Native Title Act.
Dja Dja Wurrung Clans Aboriginal Corporation chairperson Graham Atkinson said it was a landmark decision.
"Today signals the start of a new future for the Dja Dja Wurrung and a new permanent relationship with the State and people of Victoria," he said.
Victorian Governor Alex Chernov and Mr Atkinson will mark the occasion in a ceremony near Bendigo on Friday.
