Abstract
The Bindi Bindi Aboriginal Community By-laws, enacted under the Aboriginal Communities Act 1979, govern the activities and conduct of individuals within the Bindi Bindi Aboriginal Community. The by-laws define key terms such as "Committee," "Community," "Community land," and "member of the Community." They outline provisions for membership criteria, including agreements with the Corporation and conditions for children of members to qualify as members. These by-laws regulate non-member access to Community land, imposing restrictions unless prior permission is obtained, and address temporary residency fees. Regulations encompass various aspects, including prohibitions on damage to property, the importance of obtaining permission to enter another person's home, and rules for alcohol and drug usage on Community land. Disorderly behaviors such as disturbances, offensive language, and carrying weapons are prohibited. Animal killing and waste disposal must adhere to health and environmental standards. Penalties for by-law violations include fines and potential compensation for property damage. Enforcement measures empower police officers to apprehend offenders and remove them from Community land under specified circumstances. Convicted individuals may face orders to leave the land or membership revocation. The Committee holds discretionary authority to grant, refuse, or revoke permissions associated with activities governed by these by-laws. It may delegate its powers to its members or Corporation employees. Amendments and updates to the by-laws are compiled and published as per legal protocols.
