Changes to the Māori Land Court Rules 2011 t ook effect o n 30 April 2026 . These updates, made through the Māori Land Court Amendment Rules 2026, are designed to make it easier for Māori landowners and whānau to engage with the Court and have their matters dealt with efficiently and fairly.
This helps to ensure the hearing goes as smoothly as possible for you and your whānau. Before the court hearing, we will contact you to arrange a test call.
Te Kooti Whenua Māori – the Māori Land Court is part of Tāhū o te Ture – the Ministry of Justice. There are a range of exciting career opportunities within the Māori Land Court and wider Ministry.
Our key purpose is to promote the retention of Māori land in Māori hands, and to support landowners to use, occupy and develop their whenua for the benefit of all landowners, and their whānau and hapū. As a court of record, we are responsible for the accurate documentation of the succession and management of Māori land.
