This is the narrative of a piece of land in Te Tau Ihu – Aorere. It sets out how Judge Reeves dealt with an application for accretion and for determination of ownership, where ownership records had not been maintained for over 100 years.
Some people become landowners when land is gifted or transferred to them.
The Māori Land Court, alongside our partner agencies, are here to support you and your whānau throughout your whenua journey.
