Access to Māori land was generally considered when the title of the land was originally issued and in many cases:
a roadway would have been created to give access to the land
there may have already been a public or private roadway servicing the land, or
a right of way to access land, across a neighbouring property, may have been put in place.
Your application will be considered ‘uncontested’ when:
• it has been notified according to Māori Land Court Rules;
and
• it has been published in the Māori Land Court’s National
Pānui; and
• no one has objected to the application.
If there is a disagreement about access to the land, there are provisions for an internal review, and for the water service provider or the landowner to appeal to the Māori Land Court.
