It can be difficult to contact the other owners of your whenua, but you must try to find and contact them to discuss your plans. Permission from trustees or Māori incorporation
Māori land is often managed by a trust or incorporation on behalf of the owners or shareholders.
If a water service provider asks for the landowner’s permission to enter the whenua and there is a disagreement, the provider and landowners go through an internal review process try and find a solution.
If the landowner does not take part or the review turns into a dispute, the water service provider can appeal to the Māori Land Court for a decision under section 166(4)(b) of the Local Government (Water Services) Act 2025 .
