The benefits of an incorporation include:
the ability to establish and run commercial operations for maximum financial benefit to the shareholders
the application of a corporate model to the management of Māori land
autonomy from the normal Māori Land Court practices that apply to trusts, and
voting and resolutions by shareholders are based on the number of shares held, rather than the number of votes received.
Our Act provides various safeguards to ensure that Māori land may only be transferred by court order following an application to succeed, gift, or sell to the PCA. Ownership interests can only be transferred outside of the PCA if members of the PCA decline to apply for those interests.
