A Native Title claim in Central Queensland has been allowed to restart a year after a judge issued a rare order not only dismissing the action, but blocking any further claims.

In April 2024, the Gaangalu people applied for exclusive and non-exclusive Native Title over more than 25,000 kilometres of land and waters west and south-west of Rockhampton.
