Patjarr (also known as Karilywara) is a small Aboriginal community, located near the Clutterbuck Hills between Lake Cobb and Lake Newell, 243 kilometres by road north west of Warburton [2] in the Goldfields–Esperance region of Western Australia.
When enumerated in the 2011 Census of Population and Housing, the population of Patjarr was 41. [3] While no further demographic details are available from the 2011 census, 84% of residents in 2006 identified themselves as being of Indigenous descent. [4] Most of Patjarr's Aboriginal residents are part of the Pintupi group. [5] At the time of the 2006 Census, the Indigenous population profile of Patjarr was skewed, with a sex ratio of 1.0 male per 2.2 females. [4]
The Pintupi began returning to their homelands near Patjarr in 1979 with a view to setting up a permanent outstation. [5] While the community's governing body, Patjarr Aboriginal Corporation, was incorporated under the Aboriginal Councils and Associations Act 1976 on 28 April 1980, [6] it was not until 1993 that the community and its surrounds were excised from the Gibson Desert Nature Reserve and leased to the traditional owners by the Aboriginal Lands Trust. [5] Native title was determined to exist in 2005, as part of the Stanley Mervyn, Adrian Young, and Livingston West and Ors, on behalf of the Peoples of the Ngaanyatjarra Lands v Western Australia and Ors claim. [7]
Patjarr Layout Plan No.2 has been prepared in accordance with State Planning Policy 3.2 Aboriginal Settlements. Layout Plan No.2 was endorsed by the community on 10 October 2008. [2]
