	(9)	The Committee may, on application, appoint the following persons or bodies as the Recognised Aboriginal Representative Body in respect of a specified area:

	(10)	The Committee may, on application, appoint a person or body as the Recognised Aboriginal Representative Body in respect of a specified area (other than an area in respect of which there is already a Recognised Aboriginal Representative Body pursuant to subsection (2), (3) or (4)) or a specified Aboriginal site, object or remains.

	(e)	if the application relates to a particular area—a description and map of the area in a form determined by the Committee; and
	(f)	if the applicant is a registered native title body corporate—a copy of the constitution and rules of the body corporate; and
	(g)	any other document or information that the Committee may reasonably require.
	(12)	Before appointing a person or body as a Recognised Aboriginal Representative Body under subsection (9) or (10), the Committee—
	(a)	must be satisfied that the person or body—
	(i)	is able to ascertain and represent the views and knowledge of traditional owners of the relevant area in respect of matters relevant to the operation of this Act (including matters that involve gender‑specific requirements, or some other qualification, according to the traditions of the traditional owners); and
	(ii)	satisfies any other requirements set out in the regulations or the guidelines for the purposes of this paragraph; and
	(b)	must comply with any requirements set out in the regulations for the purpose of this paragraph.

	(a)	has perpetual succession and a common seal; and
	(b)	can sue and be sued in its corporate name.

19C—Priority where multiple applications
	(1)	If there is more than 1 application under section 19B for appointment as a Recognised Aboriginal Representative Body in respect of a particular area, or a particular Aboriginal site, object or remains, the Committee should give priority to the applicant that the available evidence suggests has the strongest affiliation with, and responsibility for, the area, site, object or remains in accordance with Aboriginal tradition.

	(c)	affect any legal proceedings or remedy in respect of any the matters referred to in a previous paragraph.
