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
the MāoriLand Court or Māori Appellate Court under the MāoriLand Court Fees Regulations 2013.
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.
Please provide an address if this venue is not a MāoriLand Court location.
