WHAT IS THIS FORM FOR?
HĀWEA/WĀNAKA SILNA WORKING LIST OF POTENTIAL OWNERS AS AT 9 SEPTEMBER 2021
The Māori Land Court has released an updated working list of potential owners entitled to the
Hāwea/Wānaka Substitute Land (Section 2 of 5 Block XIV Lower Wanaka Survey District)
under Section 15 of the Ngāi Tahu Deed of Settlement 1997.
If the Court considers that the order should be
completed without delay/issued without the appeal
period, the Court will declare the order to be
"completed without delay" and then the order can
be released immediately (Rule 7.5(2)(b) of the
Māori Land Court Rules 2011)
IWI
The traditional Māori tribal hierarchy and social order
made up of hapū (kin groups) and whānau (family
groups), having a founding ancestor and territorial
(tribal) boundaries.

45 statutes referencing tikanga include the Oranga Tamariki Act 1989 (see s 2 definitions of “tikanga Māori” and “mana
tamaiti (tamariki)”); Resource Management Act 1991; and Taumata Arowai–the Water Services Regulator Act 2020.
Instead, the key test is quite appropriately that there is no “meritorious
objection” to the formation of the trust (s 215(4)(b)). The drafters of the Act clearly
understood the dynamics of Māori land and Māori land owners.
