This power continues pursuant to s 338 of Te Ture Whenua Māori Act 1993 and it does not appear that the Law Commission proposes changes to this power. Sometimes land has been used as an urupā for a considerable period of time without being formally set aside as a reservation.
Whilst information about individual committee of management members is held by the Court, those names and contact information have been withheld
in accordance with the public register privacy principles of the Privacy Act 1993.
Final resolution
That an application be filed with the Māori Land Court to constitute the [name of ahu whenua
or whenua tōpū trust], appoint [list the full names of the elected trustees] as trustees and
approve the draft trust order.

Whilst information about individual committee of management members is held by the Court, those names and contact information have been withheld
in accordance with the public register privacy principles of the Privacy Act 1993.
In your application include:
• all names the deceased was known by (such as birth, maiden, married names, and any other
aliases)
• whakapapa information, including parents, siblings etc
• names and contact details of children or next of kin.
