Charging orders – water services charges In certain situations, Māori landowners may have to pay for water services. If an owner of Māori freehold land in multiple ownership has paid more than their share of water services changes, they can apply to the Māori Land Court for a “charging order” to recover the excess amount paid.
This will make it easier to build on Māori reservation land. OCCUPATION ORDER: An occupation order provides the right to build on a piece of land owned by multiple owners (but does not grant a title of ownership over that piece of land).
The way whenua was taken care of and how Māori lived on the land changed with the introduction of laws to allow for settler ownership.
Some Māori land titles have a majority of owners who cannot or will not succeed to their ownership interest despite attempts to encourage them to succeed.
