For some applications, landowners will need to notify other owners of their application to the Court ahead of time so they can attend hui, support the application, make a payment offer, or object to the application.
When we receive your application, we’ll send you a confirmation email. What to expect after you apply It will take up to two weeks after the application closing date to know if you’ve been shortlisted for an interview.
Alongside these changes, we face an increase in applications, COVID-19 impacts, and higher-than-normal staff turnover, which has slowed down our response times to enquiries and the processing of your applications.
At this point in te pā whenua, you will be ready to file an application with the Court. Once you have filed your application with us, we will take care of your information and support you to understand the process from here.
Our kaimahi can answer pātai and provide printed application forms, ownership lists, and publicly available court records.
