Why make this change?
Succession to Māoriland interests can be complex for whānau
and for whāngai, and Māoriland is often owned by members
of different whānau (with different views on whāngai
succession).
You may use this document to request a waiver, reduction, or refund of the fee prescribed for an application before

Te Kooti Whenua Māori – MāoriLand Court
For more information, go to maorilandcourt.govt.nz
Te Kooti Whenua Māori – MāoriLand Court (MLC) is the
New Zealand Court that hears matters relating to Māoriland.
In August 2020, the Government passed targeted
changes to Te Ture Whenua Māori Act 1993 to simplify
the legal processes for owning, occupying and using
Māoriland.
The changes affect all trusts,
including Māoriland trusts created through the MāoriLand Court
(such as ahu whenua, kaitiaki, and whānau trusts) and existing
trusts established before the law came into force.
Te Puna Manawa Whenua is written by MāoriLand Court judges. It is overseen by a judicial editing komiti, comprised of MāoriLand Court judges, supported by legal research counsel from the MāoriLand Court.
The MāoriLand Court is one of the oldest courts in
New Zealand and the work it does is central to the fabric of the Māori
community, and the Māori economy.”
