The Court’s redesigned website is the gateway
for landowners/users to access PātakaWhenua.
In May 2023 we launched a redesigned web-
site and a new onlineportal – PātakaWhenua.

technology was part of a wider Whenua Māori
Programme of change which also included
implementing legislative change and intro-
ducing new ways of working.
If you would like to register, the step-by-step guide Become a registered PātakaWhenua user
is available to assist you in the PātakaWhenua guidance area of the Māori Land Court website.

minutes and orders.
