Search by landowner
You can search for whenua that you have an interest in to learn more about the whakapapa of the whenua and the whānau. You can find information on:
the current list of landowners of the block
when a person became a landowner, who they inherited whenua interests from and the type of land ownership they have
the previous landowners and line of succession, or whakapapa of the whenua.
Where the title to the land is vested in a Māori land trust (e.g. an Ahu Whenua Trust or a
Whānau Trust) the trustees can approve a mortgage against the land subject to any

the partition is necessary for the effective
operation, development and utilisation of the
land, or that it effects a gift from the donor
to a member of his or her whānau. The
following points need to be considered:
• access – the area to be partitioned
should not restrict access to the rest of
the land
• the lie of the land – the area to be
partitioned should not take the entire flat
or most use...
