Queensland Parliament has passed legislation that will return Mulgumpin -- also known as Moreton Island -- to traditional owners in a sixteen million dollar four-year deal.
Environment Minister Meaghan Scanlon says passing the legislation is a step in the ongoing recognition of Quandamooka people’s rightful ownership of the land.
She says the state government will work with the Quandamooka people to manage, preserve, and promote the cultural and natural resources of the island in accordance with indigenous traditions.
