THE West Australian government has made an historic $1.3 billion offer to settle the Noongar people's native title claim over Perth and the state's southwest.
Premier Colin Barnett proposes to settle the Noongar claim with the transfer of 320,000 hectares of crown land and a massive injection of government funding.
Central to the offer is a pledge to spend $50 million a year on a perpetual trust fund for social and economic development, as well as the establishment of six regional Noongar corporations.
In announcing the offer on Saturday, Mr Barnett said if the offer was accepted it would represent the most comprehensive native title agreement in Australian history.
He said a deal could cause seismic change for the Noongar people.
"Nothing happens overnight, but we expect this arrangement will help lift outcomes in Aboriginal health, education and employment over time," Mr Barnett said on Saturday.
"It should also help produce a new generation of Noongar leaders to drive further change within their community."
The state would continue to hold mineral rights over the transferred land under the proposed deal.
Mr Barnett said the Noongar people would have six months to consider the agreement, which the government hopes to start enacting within a year.
