The Deerubbin Local Aboriginal Land Council publishes its Community, Land and Business Plan 2009-2112. The report states that the Council currently holds or awaits the transfer of 15000ha of land. It has land in each of the Baulkham Hills, Hawkesbury, Penrith and Blue Mountains local government areas. The Report further states . Traditional ownership of the Deerubbin LALC area   . Deerubbin LALC’s members do not lay claim to traditional ownership of Deerubbin LALC area. Deerubbin LALC’s members support genuine assertions and respectful recognition of traditional ownership (and formal legal recognition of native title) wherever they occur. Deerubbin LALC is skeptical, however, that there are Aboriginal people alive today who credibly lay claim to traditional ownership of its area. European occupation of the area occurred early in the history of the colony of New South Wales and had a devastating impact on the Aboriginal people of the area.  Without laying claim to traditional ownership of the area, Deerubbin LALC and its members have been active in seeking to promote and protect the Aboriginal cultural and heritage values of lands in the area. This is regarded by members as a fundamental aspect of the LALC’s charter. (http://www.deerubbin.org.au/Final-CLBP-290609.pdf) 2012.
