Use this form to create an Ahu Whenua Trust (a land trust) by vesting one or more land blocks in trustees to
manage, as set out in a trust deed/order on behalf of the beneficial owner(s).
An obvious corollary to that proposition is, subject to the available resources and infrastructure of the trust to cater for such procedures. For example, one ahu whenua trust has over 8,000 beneficial owners for an area of land less than 200 hectares with income of less than $10,000.00 per annum.
The Māori
Land Court operates under the provisions of
Te Ture Whenua Māori Act 1993 (referred
to as ‘the Act’ throughout this booklet).
Māori Reservations is one of a series of Māori
Land Court booklets designed to help Māori
– and anyone else with an interest – to gain
a fuller understanding of current Māori land
matters.

In a pre-digital context, it simply wasn’t practical to
have one minute book series for a district or the court
as a whole; rather, it made more sense to have
multiple minute books based on geographic location
or activity.
However, if AGMs will not be practical or possible (for
example, for a small family urupā), the MLC can be asked to
approve less frequent meetings, such as one meeting every
two, three or five years.
ATTENDEES
Any beneficiary or other person for whose benefit the
reservation has been created may attend the meeting.
