APPLICATION NO:
SECTION:
APPLICA...
An occupation order can pass by succession.
Legislative changes supporting
housing initiatives
Effective from Waitangi Day, 6 February 2021
Why make this change?
The Act also allows for appeals to the Māori Appellate
Court in relation to decisions of the Māori Land Court
around access to Māori land for water infrastructure.
What has changed?
The Local Government (Water Services) Act (the Act)
has made the following changes to the Māori Land
Court’s jurisdiction.
To apply to change the terms of your trust, you’ll need to include:
a list of proposed changes
evidence of any meetings called to consider the proposed changes, and
evidence to show sufficient support for the proposed changes.
All fees for time in attendance are GST exclusive.
7 Unless directed otherwise, the hourly rates will automatically change along with any changes to the Waitangi
Tribunal rates.
Since 1993 there has only been a trickle of Māori freehold land that has changed to European title. To achieve this change is possible only in particular circumstances and strict rules apply.
The
mediation process available is a simplified version of the process that was provided for in the
proposed changes to Te Ture Whenua Māori Act 1993 developed by the previous National
Government.
