Before applying to the Māori Land Court for an occupation
order, you will need consent from the other owners of the
land, and if applicable, from trustees or the management
committee of the Māori incorporation over the land.
In Pātaka Whenua, you can find information about your whenua, search the court record, make an application or enquiry online and pay the application filing fee.
Ensure that your device is muted when you join the hearing, as you may join while another application is still being heard. Please wait until your application is announced to unmute yourself, confirm that you’re present, and let the court know if any other people are present with you.
After 18 months of hearings in Rotorua, 15 applications concerning the administration and utilisation of Utuhina No.3H No’s 2 & 3 Subdivision F will shortly be completed.
One means of exploring a candidate’s ability to comply with s 222 is to require nominees to submit resumes with their application and for the Court to then pose questions to candidates for appointment that might include their knowledge of accounts and financial reporting, the trust order and general trust law principles, farming, forestry, tourism, geothermal power, property investment, equities and communications.
The rapid pace of Treaty settlements has created challenges for the Tribunal, and the number of the applications in the Māori Land Court continues to rise as well.
