It is a
comprehensive guide to transferring
Māori land shares by a vesting order:
• when the ownership of a Māori land block
is held in shares by a group of owners
• when a land block is vested in a Māori
incorporation.
Trusts
(Note: The term trusts includes all types of management structure, including Ahu Whenua Trusts, Whenua Tōpū Trusts, Pūtea Trusts,
Māori Incorporations and non-Māori Land Court created structures or organisations but it does not include agencies or agents)

The idea was that an individual or a whānau could consolidate their shares across a large area and in a large number of blocks with many owners, down into a particular piece of land that they would call their own.
In other respects, as I will also explain, the
engaged owners model is inherently problematic.
The unengaged owners are not the problem the report imagines
For a significant number of blocks of multiply-owned Māori land today, the engaged
owners are a minority of the owners.
For more information about The South Island Landless Natives Act (SILNA) and the work of Te Kooti Whenua Māori and updating the lists of potential owners for the four remaining SILNA Blocks Hāwea-Wanaka, Whakapoai, Port Adventure and Toitoi, please see our SILNA page.

LAND THAT CAN BE INCLUDED IN A MĀORI
INCORPORATION
A Māori incorporation can include one or more blocks of
Māori freehold land, as long as at least one of the blocks has
more than two owners.
