It is a good idea to ask them about:
What land blocks you might be an owner in
An accurate record of your whakapapa
How you became an owner or beneficiary to your whenua.
Once you have had a discussion with your whānau about your aspirations for your whenua and you have come up with a plan, our Pae Manawa are here to support you with your next steps.
You are welcome to turn up between 10am and 4pm, Monday to Friday. However, if you are wanting to view physical records, you will need to contact us to book an appointment.
As well as this, the Whenua Advisory Service and Tupu website have been stood up by Te Puni Kōkiri. The Māori Land Information System (MLIS), the Court’s previous system which held information about whenua Māori and the court record, was only accessible in the court’s district offices.
