A licence to occupy gives you permission to build on or occupy whenua. However, the title of ownership remains with the trust or management body and the licence can’t be passed on by succession.
It outlines the legislative history, relevance to Te Ture Whenua Māori Act 1993, new urupā, beneficiary class and underlying ownership and advantages.
Just before I wind up, I want to make a few brief comments about the Court and the Tribunal. For Te Kooti Whenua Māori this is a time of uncertainty. We await confirmation of the details and programme for the Government’s review of Te Ture Whenua Māori Act, and so now is not the time for comment from the judiciary.
Currently, the land is effectively held in trust until the owners can receive the land. There are 308 original owners.
More information For more information about Māori Land Trusts please write to, phone, fax, email, or visit a Māori Land Court office.
