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.
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.
