Our key purpose is to promote the retention of Māori land in Māori hands, and to support landowners to use, occupy and develop their whenua for the benefit of all landowners, and their whānau and hapū.
Te Ratonga Whakatau Wenerau is a free, tikanga-informed dispute resolution service that uses mediation to work with whānau, trustees, and landowners to progress whenua related disputes.
It’s not about the backlog, rather it’s the impact that the delays have had on Māori land owners, their whanau and their hapū, as ultimately justice delayed is justice denied.
This form may be used to apply to the Court to confirm one or more resolutions passed by owners in Māori Freehold Land or General Land owned by Māori who together are members of the same family and who have taken the opportunity to meet together following a family gathering (such as tangi, wedding or reunion).

The new mediation provisions give the Court and Māori land owners a grand opportunity to define how we will resolve differences for the benefit of whānau, hapū and iwi.
