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...
This form should not be used to Appeal against a decision of the Māori Land Court or Māori Appellate Court
nor should it be used to correct an administrative error in a minute or order of the Court.
If you’re making a whenua timeline you can access historical information of that whenua as recorded in the Māori Land Court (or our predecessor, the Native Land Court).
You may use this document to request a waiver, reduction, or refund of the fee prescribed for an application before
the Māori Land Court or Māori Appellate Court under the Māori Land Court Fees Regulations 2013.
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.
Any member of the preferred class of alienee who wishes to submit a tender for the purchase of the said land must submit a tender to the Hastings Māori Land Court on 106 Eastbourne Street, Hastings.
If an owner with Māori land interests is deceased, and probate, letters of administration or an election to administer
the estate have been granted by High Court, or is to be obtained, you can use this form to seek a determination from
the Court as to those persons entitled to a deceased’s Māori Land interests and an order transferring the interests to
those entitled.

This kind of appeal is different from appealing orders made by the Māori Land Court.
If an owner with Māori Land interests is deceased, and a succession has not previously been dealt with by the Court or a
Registrar, you can use this form to seek a determination from the Court as to those persons entitled to a deceased’s
Māori Land interests and an order transferring the interests to those entitled.
