Notice can be given by:
• placing a public notice in a newspaper in the district nearest the whenua
• writing a letter or sending an email to as many landowners as possible
• broadcasting on Māori and local radio stations and posting to community notice boards
• posting on social media used by your whānau.
2. Record hui minutes
Take clear notes of the decisions made during the hui.
Once all, or most, owners have been identified, the
Trustees will consider opportunities for the whenua to be
utilised productively, in a manner that may generate income
and benefits for the whānau, as was originally intended.
If you believe that you, your parents, or another whānaumember may be an owner, please contact Barry Stewart at
bj.stewart@xtra.co.nz.
The move into the new premises marks an important milestone, and ensures we are better equipped to serve whānau and communities for generations to come.
Many landowner journeys begin when a whānaumember passes away and their land interests or shares in an incorporation are transferred to their whānaumembers.
Succession to Māori land interests can be complex for whānau
and for whāngai, and Māori land is often owned by members
of different whānau (with different views on whāngai
succession).
