		The honourable member for The Hills stated that the bill is good news generally for the entire community because it recognises the importance of the land to the descendants of the Dharug people.
		First, even though Baulkham Hills Shire Council is satisfied with the agreement, the board of trustees, which has been set up to administer the reserve and which includes representatives from council and the Dharug people, has not yet held a meeting.
