This practice note has been issued as a guide to assist landowners, lawyers and the banking sector with lending and borrowing against Māori freehold land.
At this point in te pā whenua, landowners are now ready to take their next step. That may be submitting another type of application or getting in contact with other agencies or organisations who can assist you with the next chapter of your journey.
MĀORI RESERVATIONS
Te Kooti Whenua Māori – Māori Land Court

Te Kooti Whenua Māori – Māori Land Court (MLC) is the
New Zealand Court that hears matters relating to Māori
land.
Importantly, it also tells the story of the modern Māori Land Court, who we are, what we do, and what motivates us to provide a high level of service to Māorilandowners.

10 When Te Tau Ihu Māori agreed to the settlement of Nelson, it was subject to two important
conditions, one of which was that one-tenth of all land used for the Nelson settlement would
be reserved in perpetuity for the benefit of the families of the customary landowners and their
descendants.
The process to do this is different from other
Māori Land Court application processes.
Landowners and other interested parties, if
appropriate, should hold a meeting to decide
to set aside land as a Māori reservation.
