Māori landowners can use, develop, and manage their land and ensure benefits for all owners. An ahu whenua trust:
holds the trustees legally responsible for the management of the land, and
uses a Māori Land Court-approved trust order, which sets out the rights and responsibilities of the trustees and beneficial owners.
It’s not about the backlog, rather it’s the impact that the delays have had on Māori landowners, their whanau and their hapū, as ultimately justice delayed is justice denied.
To date, the Court has determined the successors of 125 original owners and are now seeking whakapapa information for the remaining owners from around 1895 who have not yet been succeeded to.
