In July 2026, the Māori Land Court released an updated list of successors identified in relation to the Hāwea/Wānaka Substitute SILNA Block. The substitute block is being provided through the Ngāi Tahu Treaty Settlement.

The Māori Land Court operates under the provisions of Te Ture Whenua Māori Act 1993 (referred to as ‘the Act’ throughout this booklet).
