In the English version, Māori are said to have ceded
the sovereignty of New Zealand to Britain; Māori give the Crown an exclusive right to buy lands they
wish to sell, and, in return, are guaranteed full rights of ownership of their lands, forests, fisheries and
other possessions; and Māori are given the rights and privileges of British subjects.
The scope of the review focuses on four key areas:
• Ownership: Māori land owners are affiliated and engaged with the land;
• Governance: there are appropriate structures and trustees with expertise to
support effective decision-making;
• Access to resources: resources are available to enact decisions; and
• Utilisation: the better utilisation of Māori land is enabled.
In his classic book Māori Land Tenure
(1977) Sir Hugh Kawharu wrote that the system
of Māori land tenure created by the Native Lands
Act of 1865 was an ‘engine of destruction for
any tribe’s tenure of land, anywhere’ (p 15).
If an owner of Māori freehold land in multiple ownership has paid more than their share of water services changes, they can apply to the Māori Land Court for a “charging order” to recover the excess amount paid.
Traditional whenua boundaries of hapū and whānau were changed and not all members were granted ownership. Individual landownership made it easier for settlers to buy and sell land.
This will make it easier to build
on Māori reservation land.
OCCUPATION ORDER:
An occupation order provides the right to build on a piece of
land owned by multiple owners (but does not grant a title of
ownership over that piece of land).
