After a 22-year process, the Mirning People will have their native title recognised by the Federal Court of Australia at a native title determination ceremony to be held at a site near Mundrabilla on the Great Australian Bight.

On 24 October 2017, Justice Alan Robertson of the Federal Court will formally acknowledge native title over an area of approximately 33,000sqkm, 1,400kms east of Perth, of which almost 22,100sqkm will be the highest form of native title - exclusive possession.
