In this context, the current review of Te Ture Whenua Māori Act 1993 and Māori land law in general is to be welcomed. From my perspective, the most sensible long term plan would be to encourage the retention of land interests in kin groups rather than individuals.
I know this is a problem, and in my view primarily a matter of banks becoming educated in the Te Ture Whenua Māori Act 1993.
Unfortunately there are no reported decisions of the Court on the operation of subsection 14 in relation to subsection 12 so my comments are speculative. That said, subsection 14 seems to contemplate the possibility that leases or licences for longer periods than 14 years may be needed for such developments as kohanga reo, health clinics or similar education- or health-related developments.
I commented on the obvious importance of good governance to our Māori and New Zealand futures. While my comments were focussed on Māori land, they are equally applicable to other Māori assets.
