Review of Tr...
A licence to occupy gives you permission to build on or occupy whenua. However, the title of ownership remains with the trust or management body and the licence can’t be passed on by succession.
Just before I wind up, I want to make a few brief comments about the Court and the Tribunal. For Te Kooti Whenua Māori this is a time of uncertainty. We await confirmation of the details and programme for the Government’s review of Te Ture Whenua Māori Act, and so now is not the time for comment from the judiciary.
The Māori Land Court is notifying all owners of the above blocks about the following hui:
