Since the passing of Te Ture Whenua Māori Act 1993, our role is to: promote the retention of Māori land in the hands of its owners, whānau and hapū facilitate the occupation, development and use of Māori land ensure that decisions made about Māori land are fair and balanced taking into account the needs of all the owners and their beneficiaries.
