shares in the Māori land consented to the proposal.
If you think that you have been
adversely affected by this process and wish to make representations on the application, you must notify the
Court in writing by 4 pm on the 1st of January 2024 and specify brief details of your concerns. The Court may,
if it cannot otherwise address those concerns, order that the application be reheard.

Whenua owned by several people can be administered through a Māori incorporation, which becomes the legal owner of the land and assets vested in it.
If you think that you have been
