While my comments were focussed on Māori land, they are equally applicable to other Māori assets. The Ministry of Agriculture and Forestry report A recent Ministry of Agriculture and Forestry (‘MAF’) report assessed the current state and future potential of Māori freehold land.1 Significantly, the majority of the recommendations made in the report concern the skills and knowledge capability of governance and management.
In addition, in February 2013 during the
course of the review, the Ministry for Primary Industries released a further report
prepared by PricewaterhouseCoopers: Growing the Productive Base of Māori
Freehold Land (2013).
The concept was not lost, however, on the Ministry of Māori Development who, following a workshop hui at Rawhiti on 02 March 1992, included whānau trusts in the Māori Affairs Bill which passed into law on 09 March 1993 as Te Ture Whenua Māori Act 1993, with effect from 01 July 1993.
Benefits beyond Registration First The project provided an opportunity to clean up Māori Land titles providing more certainty for owners keen to develop their lands, including improving their access to loan finance. Second The Ministry now has a large human resource pool with specialist knowledge of the Māori Land title system.
