It is tūrangawaewae – the place where we come from, the place we belong to, the place we stand. Our key purpose is to promote the retention of Māori land in Māori hands, and to support landowners to use, occupy and develop their whenua for the benefit of all landowners, and their whānau and hapū.
Importantly, it also tells the story of the modern Māori Land Court, who we are, what we do, and what motivates us to provide a high level of service to Māori landowners.
Where a determination or order has already been made by a Registrar, affected persons may also apply to the court to seek a review of that determination or order.
However, it is possible to make application to the Court to have an area excluded from a reservation pursuant to section 338(5), and then to set up an ahu whenua trust in relation to the excluded area with the object of allowing housing development to take place.
Use this form to create an Ahu Whenua Trust (a land trust) by vesting one or more land blocks in trustees to manage, as set out in a trust deed/order on behalf of the beneficial owner(s).
