This model for the utilisation of multiply-owned Māori land had its origins in Taitokerau in 1989 where, under s 438 of the Māori Affairs Act 1953, a block was vested in a trust with exclusive use areas identified in a schedule to the trust order for whānau shareholding groups.
Prior to 1993 the Court had the ability under s 439 of the Māori Affairs Act 1953 to recommend land be set apart as a Māori Reservation for the purposes of a burial ground.
Legislation: Section 19, Te Ture Whenua Māori Act 1993
