Using te reo Māori
Legal representation Speaking in court
Māori land matters are whānau matters. You can bring whānau with you to court to support you and your application.
TAKE NOTICE that Philip Seymour has made application to the Māori Land Court at Te Waipounamu for a meeting of assembled owners seeking a partition of the Otonga 3 block.
This data only includes block information regarding Māori Customary, Māori Freehold and Aggregated Lands. It does not include information about
Crown Land, Crown Land Reserved for Māori, Other, Ownership Only, General Land owned by Māori, General Land or blocks pending internal review.
Before you submit an application to the Court, make sure you have had a kōrero with your whānau. Kaitiaki whenua (land guardianship) is about the collective and the wellbeing of whenua, whānau and whakapapa.
Many landowner journeys begin when a whānau member passes away and their land interests or shares in an incorporation are transferred to their whānau members.
This may mean connecting with other agencies and exploring funding opportunities that can help you and your whānau reach your aspirations for your whenua.
On that island I see te iwi Māori walking proudly within their own Māori world and over their own land. So, I suggest to you now, if your vision of an island is similar to mine, we must grasp an oar and get on board this waka we share so that we can row together towards that island.
There are many ways Māori connect with and utilise whenua, depending on the economic, social, and cultural aspirations of the whānau for the whenua. The Māori Land Court, alongside our partner agencies, are here to support you and your whānau throughout your whenua journey.
