The town of Yulara is excluded from the Land Trusts, and sits between the Katiti block and Uluṟu–Kata Tjuṯa National Park.
The trust is named after Katiti (Bobbie's Well), a natural spring located about 9 kilometres (5.6 mi) south of Lake Amadeus.
The prospecting expedition led by Lawrence Wells visited the spring in 1903, and Herbert Basedow marked it on his maps as "Curtyteena".
Section 4 of the act gave the Minister for Aboriginal Affairs the power to establish Land Trusts to look after the title.
