Traditional whenua boundaries of hapū and whānau were changed and not all members were granted ownership. Individual land ownership made it easier for settlers to buy and sell land.
The lease or occupation license does
not grant a title of ownership; this remains with the trust.
Previously, leases and occupation licenses could only be
issued up to 14 years, a timeframe that made it difficult to
get finance to build on Māori reservation land.
