TITLE IMPROVEMENT
Te Kooti Whenua Māori – Māori Land Court
For more information, go to maorilandcourt.govt.nz
Te Kooti Whenua Māori – Māori Land Court (MLC) is the
New Zealand Court that hears matters relating to Māori
land.
As a result, from time to time the Māori Land 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.
This is separate from the Court’s own processes and is not to be confused with any hui or Court
hearing lead by the Māori Land Court.
MĀORI LAND COURT CONTACT DETAILS
This application may be lodged with the Registrar at any office of the Māori Land Court.
