Release Notes: The information contained in this spreadsheet is a snapshot of data from Pātaka Whenua of the MāoriLand Court, New...
This brought the MāoriLand Court record into the computer age with details of Māoriland blocks and their owners being accessible nationwide, without owners having to travel to the MāoriLand Court where the land was located to get information.
The drafters of the Act clearly
understood the dynamics of Māoriland and Māoriland owners.
Accordingly, under the Act the engaged owners presently make decisions about their
land through the legal structures of trusts and incorporations.
As a result, from time to time the MāoriLand Court receives applications to extend existing urupā, or to set aside Māori freehold land, or sometimes General land owned by Māori, as new urupā reservations.
