We can only ever control and be responsible for our own responses in
challenging situations. Take some time to reflect on the following:
What are the best possible outcomes for you?
Applications are grouped by District and include the new and old application reference number, the
date on which the application was received by the Court, the subject of the application, the authority
under which the application is made and the applicant(s).
But the real challenge remains what it has always been for us all – the administration of Māori land and the delivery of services in accordance with the aspirations or rangatiratanga of Māori to retain, utilise and develop their land for the benefit of the owners, their whanau and hapu in accordance with their own cultural preferences.
