Discussion
I have considered the 2026 November Te Taitokerau District court sitting dates for Kaikohe
and Kaitaia that have been gazetted by the Kairēhita Matua in accordance with the schedule
published under the authority of the Kaiwhakawā Matua of the Māori Land Court, under rule
3.3 of the Māori Land Court Rules 2011.
LIST OF CURRENT BENEFICIARIES
The MLC maintains up-to-date lists of beneficiaries. The
trustees should request a copy of the list of beneficiaries
before a meeting with them.
If they need to enter Māori land, they must ask for the landowner’s permission in writing at least 30 working days before the date they plan to enter. Getting permission is important so water service providers can do their work and landowners know what is happening on their land.
