S315 - masters APPLICATION FOR AN EASEMENT Te Ture Whenua Maori Act 1993, Section 315 In the Maori Land Court of New Zealand Aotea District APPLICATION is hereby made for an easement laying out access as shown on the plan filed herewith over the land known as being: (a) Maori freehold land; or (b) European land that ceased to be Maori Land on or after 15 December 191...
Your application will be considered ‘uncontested’ when: • it has been notified according to Māori Land Court Rules; and • it has been published in the Māori Land Court’s National Pānui; and • no one has objected to the application.
If there is a disagreement about access to the land, there are provisions for an internal review, and for the water service provider or the landowner to appeal to the Māori Land Court.
Some people become landowners when a whānau member transfers land to them by gift or sale. The Maori Land Court will ‘vest’ the land interest by way of a vesting order.
That provides a great deal of protection because the land cannot be sold or gifted away. Nor can the land be taken by way of an agreement under the Public Works Act 1981.
Te Puna Manawa Whenua is written by Māori Land Court judges. It is overseen by a judicial editing komiti, comprised of Māori Land Court judges, supported by legal research counsel from the Māori Land Court.
