Judge Wilson Isaac was appointed to the MāoriLand Court in March 1994. He was appointed as Deputy Chief Judge of the MāoriLand Court in 1999 and the Chief Judge of the MāoriLand Court, and Chair of the Waitangi Tribunal in August 2009.
The Local Government (Water Services) Act 2025
introduces new provisions that allow owners of Māoriland
and water service providers to appeal to the MāoriLand
Court over decisions about access to Māoriland for water
infrastructure.
You will also need to be clear what the plan is for building on
the land, including who the housing is for.
Contact a MāoriLand Court offices for further information
about building on Māoriland.
The Act also allows for appeals to the Māori Appellate
Court in relation to decisions of the MāoriLand Court
around access to Māoriland for water infrastructure.
