Judge Stephanie Milroy discusses Urupā Reservations (Māori burial grounds). It outlines the legislative history, relevance to Te Ture WhenuaMāori Act 1993, new urupā, beneficiary class and underlying ownership and advantages.
For Te Kooti WhenuaMāori this is a time of uncertainty. We await confirmation of the details and programme for the Government’s review of Te Ture WhenuaMāori Act, and so now is not the time for comment from the judiciary.
