The respondents are the trustees of the Hanataua Ahu Whenua Trust. The matter was heard in the Aotea Māori Land Court, by Judge A H C Warren and Dr Ruakere Hond, in Whanganui on 1 and 2 September 2022 in both languages and with the aid of a te reo Māori interpreter.
It can help to mend fractured relationships and address some of the maemae associated with whānau relationships. A mediator will be there to support everyone, including you and your whānau, and to provide an impartial view when addressing issues.
Before you submit an application to the Court, make sure you have had a kōrero with your whānau. Kaitiaki whenua (land guardianship) is about the collective and the wellbeing of whenua, whānau and whakapapa.
Disputes can delay whānau connecting to and using whenua. Parties in a dispute can work with a mediator and include tikanga as a way to resolve the dispute outside of the courtroom.
The practice note demystifies what can appear a complex subject, and support both whānau and lenders to improve access to finance for development activity on whenua Māori.
Traditional whenua boundaries of hapū and whānau were changed and not all members were granted ownership.

If you are a whānau or hapū member who did not submit the application but would like to speak in Court, you can file a ‘ Notice of intention to appear upon application ’.
Remember to be considerate of your whānau relationships during mediation. Give some thought to what you do and/or say to maintain whānau relationships during mediation.
