Kunapipi conceded that its application was caught by s.3.1.6, and that accordingly the required public notification had not been given.
Kunapipi also contended that the same point arose in respect of a development application made by Lagoon to develop other nearby land.

But it is people, and not natural species, who came from her uterus in the creative era of the Dreaming.
Among a number of language groups from the Roper River westward, she is called Kunapipi (or Gunabibi), which means "uterus," "penis incision" (and, by extension, "vagina"), and "emergence" (referring to rebirth).
In that same area she is also called Mumuna or Mumunga, a bull-roarer that, when swung, is her voice.

 Thylazine: The Australian Journal of Arts, Ethics & Literature: Issue No.10: Xavier Herbert: An Essay In Complexity by ...
The descriptions of the Kunapipi fertility ceremonies - common across Northern Australian and stemming from the Roper River where the Kunapipi mother rose from the sea to create humans and institute human rituals, as De Groen describes it - in the novel are inaccurate.
As De Groen records, in some parts of northern Australia the 'fertility mother and rainbow serpent' are inextricably linked with the Kunapipi and therefore one has to be careful not to compartmentalise the sexes in interpreting the rituals associated with the Kunapipi.
He also allegorised Kunapipi mythology to express a fear of the feminine - something that it is clearly not faithful to the Aboriginal understanding of Kunapipi.
