I doubt that this is going to be as much of a problem as you think it is.
One of two things is going to happen:
The Aboriginals are going to immediately convert it into a commercial opportunity and sell the land to farmers, miners, foresters, anything that can develop the land commercially through extraction or they'll go the classic route of building casinos and hotels on it as a tourist trap.
They will do nothing with it, except maybe settle on it, it will become less attractive and less valuable, it will generate little income, and will be of no great loss to the rest of society, resulting in the Abbos proceeding with #1
This is wildly common in land-redistribution schemes. It's why Socialist African countries had to not only re-distribute land multiple times, but had to criminalize selling it back to whites.
More than likely the answer is just going to be #1. The politicians are giving the land, for free, to tribes that are either their voters, or are paying them. They will get kick-backs and favors for that. The land will then be sold to the developers they are also getting kickbacks from.
Here's a bright side for you: the state now owns less property. This means it can go back into private hands and can't be used as a weapon by the government to print more money on ridiculous schemes.
Now the state can 'buy it back' and use it for things that were illegal beforehand. There is an old neighborhood in Orlando that gets all sorts of historical revisionism about it. Really, investors ran out of space to make skyscrapers for no one and want to tear down these neighborhoods. The owners don't want to give it up, so the investors want the government to step in and buy out the land by force.

Yeah, that's a good point.
