Ā mātou ture
Our rules and legislation
Read about the rules and legislation the Māori Land Court operates under.
Some people become landowners when a whānau member transfers land to them by gift or sale. The Maori Land Court will ‘vest’ the land interest by way of a vesting order.
Steve Gunson - Pae Matua Māori Land Court and Waitangi Tribunal
Ngāti Toarangatira, Te Ātiawa Steve Gunson brings a wealth and breadth of experience to the role of Pae Matua | Director Waitangi Tribunal and Māori Land Court.
Access to Māori land was generally considered when the title of the land was originally issued and in many cases:
a roadway would have been created to give access to the land
there may have already been a public or private roadway servicing the land, or
a right of way to access land, across a neighbouring property, may have been put in place.
