There are shareholdings in that block fractionated down to 4,000ths. The block itself is only about 5 hectares in size.
The landowners become shareholders, and own shares in the incorporation rather than in an individual land block.
To transfer Māori incorporation shares, the transferor (the person transferring the shares) must file a transfer of shares form (form 5 of the Māori Incorporations Constitution Regulations 1994) with the secretary of the Māori incorporation.

Kaporeihana whenua Incorporation Unlike trusts, a Māori incorporation is structured like a company and is governed by the Māori Incorporations Constitutions Regulations 1994 .
A mortgage or loan may be acquired by: the sole owner of a Māori land block all the owners of a Māori land block acting together the trustees of a Māori land block who are empowered to raise finance against the block, or a Māori Incorporation which holds Māori land.
If the whenua is held within a Māori incorporation and a member of the PCA declines an offer to sell or transfer incorporation shares, the incorporation can buy those land shares.
Under s 23 of the 1865 Act the Court could vest blocks of land in tribes, but only if the block was larger than 5,000 acres.
