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.
HĀWEA/WĀNAKA SUBSTITUTE SILNA LAND
WORKING LIST OF POTENTIAL OWNERS AS AT 23 MAY 2025
The Māori Land Court has released an updated working list of potential owners entitled to
the Hāwea/Wānaka Substitute Land (Section 2 of 5 Block XIV Lower Wānaka Survey
District) under Section 15 of the Ngāi Tahu Deed of Settlement 1997.
This form may be used by the executor(s)/administrator(s) of an estate to certify those persons entitled to the Māori
freehold land interests held by the estate, and/or in the case of a deceased Māori, any General Land intrests.
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.
