THE National Commission on Indigenous Peoples will take action over protested Certificate of Land Titles issued covering reservations in Baguio City.

Mayor Mauricio Domogan told media he made agreements with the NCIP about the issuance of CALTs and Certificate of Ancestral Domains in the Summer Capital during recent the Baguio-Boracay Redevelopment Task Force meeting.

Domogan was pleased with the NCIP's update with regard to the pending cases concerning questioned CALTs and CADTs issued in Baguio.

"No less than the NCIP conveyed to us na sa limang pending cases questioning the issuance of CALTs here in the city of Baguio, tapos na sila sa conduct of investigation to find out kung may irregularities in the issuance of titles for three of them," he said.

He cited these cases include the issued titles covering Wright Park, Forbes Park, Case Vallejo, Loakan airport and Baguio Dairy Farm.

"According to them, talagang may nakita silang irregularities and they are ready to cancel the CALTs that have been issued pursuant to this investigation that they have conducted," he reported.

However, he noted they still cannot do it as the cases are still pending before the Supreme Court.

In the meantime, Domogan and the NCIP along with the Office of the Solicitor General agreed the agencies will make sure that if the titles are declared fraudulent or invalid for some reasons, they will have to be withdrawn and unrecognized.

For claimants who have been issued with land titles subjected to the abovementioned cases, he said, "Sorry nalang. Kung talagang madeclare na null and void yung kanilang titutlo, dapat lang alisin nila yung mga nailagay nilang improvement diyan."

They have also agreed the NCIP will come out with special Implementing Rules and Regulations on the issuance of land titles in Baguio City.

"If the bill passed, and it came to the lower house, where we could amend that ... it would give everyone protection,": Kevin Humphries. Photo: Steve Lunam

Farmers have vowed to be "unyielding" in their lobbying on controversial native vegetation laws, with the Baird cabinet expected to discuss a bill that green groups fear will gut the protection for endangered species on private land.

Sensitivity on the issue has been heightened following last month's killing of Office of Environment Heritage official Glen Turner near Moree, allegedly by local landowner Ian Turnbull over a land-clearing dispute.

Environment Minister Rob Stokes, a Liberal, has made several trips to the region and is understood to be keen for the independent Biodiversity Review Panel to complete its examination of the Native Vegetation Act, the Threatened Species Conservation Act, and the flora and fauna protection sections of the National Parks and Wildlife Act.

But the Nationals' Kevin Humphries, who is Minister for Natural Resources, Lands and Water, said he would back the Shooters and Fishers' upper house bill even though it contained "a whole lot of perverse outcomes" for landowners.

The NSW Nationals and NSW Farmers have vehemently opposed Labor's land clearing laws, which ban the removal of some vegetation.

"If the bill passed, and it came to the lower house, where we could amend that ... it would give everyone protection," Mr Humphries said. "It would allow landholders to get on and do some of the work they want to do. The government hasn't landed on that but it's the preference from my end, and certainly the rural constituency's."

The Nationals are eager to claim shared responsibility for land-clearing policy. The Land reported in April that Mr Humphries would "jointly oversee native vegetation laws, previously the domain solely of the Environment Minister".

But Mr Stokes told budget estimates last week "the administration of acts provides that the Minister for Environment is the responsible minister for the Native Vegetation Act".

Possible legal action over an allegation of illegal land clearing will be delayed after councillors called a second report on the issue.

DISPUTE: Bathurst councillors have asked for a second report on an allegation of illegal land clearing before commencing legal action.

POSSIBLE legal action over an allegation of illegal land clearing will be delayed after councillors called a second report on the issue.

A report to councillors by environmental planning and building services director David Shaw detailed the allegation of illegal land clearing along a 1.2km long stretch of woodland at Mount Rankin.

The report said between 100 and 200 trees some believed to be 200 years old were damaged or removed from a council road reserve.

Mr Shaw sought councillors support to further investigate the matter and start appropriate legal action.

But councillors, apparently rattled by a number of recent costly legal battles, instead voted to allow Mr Shaws department to continue investigating the matter but report back to council before going any further.

Deputy mayor Ian North said the report to councillors did not contain enough information for him to vote at this stage to support the start of legal action against anyone responsible for the land clearing.

I want more information about how this could have happened when theres a lot of information out there about illegal land clearing, he said.

Council cautious over land clearing dispute

Stop hill cutting or face action

Kota Kinabalu: The Land and Survey Department has advised the owner of 12 Country Lease (CL) titled land at Kg Togudon in Penampang, who are currently doing hill cutting there, to stop the activity or face action.

Its Director Datuk Osman Jamal said the department's investigations made following a complaint, which was also published in the Daily Express on Monday, showed that the owner concerned does not have an approval to carry out hill-cutting.

He said the department's record shows the landowner had never submitted an application to carry out hill cutting to the department for approval and thus the department had never issued any approval for the activity.

"Our check showed there is a hill-cutting activity involving the 12 CL titled land area.

But the department has never issued an approval to the landowner to carry out the said activity, so I advise the landowner to so do immediately or face legal action," he said when met at his office in Wisma Tanah and Ukur, here Tuesday.

Osman said the department, through the Penampang Land and Survey Office, will issue a stop work order to the landowner today (Wednesday).

He said if the landowner fails to comply, action would be taken against him under the State Land Ordinance.

On the issue of a quarry project at Kg Notoruss in Babagon, Osman explained that actually until today there is no quarry activity at the said site but only land clearing activity.

This was based on an inspection conducted by the Penampang Land and Survey Office at the said site on Aug 17.

Stop hill cutting or face action

Construction equipment for land clearing was brought onto the site of the future home of a new shopping center at High School Road and Highway 305 just before 9 a.m. Wednesday morning.

Access to ProBuild, a building materials store, was limited as workers in orange-safety vests and hand-held stop signs restricted traffic through the property where the shopping center will be built.

Visconsi, an Ohio-based development company, received a clearing permit last week from the city of Bainbridge Island. The company had hoped to begin the selective removal of trees Monday from the 8.14-acre site where the shopping center will be built, but the land instead became ground zero in a much publicized demonstration against Visconsi and the new shopping center.

The demonstration was led by Chiara DAngelo, who climbed 70 feet up a Douglas fir on the property and camped out on a raised platform roped to the tree for two days. DAngelo concluded her demonstration Tuesday night and left the property just before 9 p.m.

Visconsi officials could not be immediately reached for comment Wednesday morning.
