Submit your application online in Pātaka Whenua.
No one other than members of the media may make a record in court/tribunal hearings,
whatever form that record is, such as notes on an electronic device, film or recording, unless
given permission by the presiding judge.
The main priorities for the Court now are first, to remedy errors in the lists, using s 86 of TTWMA, and second, to update the list of successors based on previous and new evidence, the latter of which requires hearings to be held so evidence can be heard. An application form based on the existing form for successions has been modified for the purposes of SILNA determinations, and individual applications are linked to a central file to ensure consistency.
The correct number of Original Grantees for the
Hāwea/Wānaka SILNA Block is 50.
