Māori Land Update –
Ngā Āhuatanga o te whenua
June 2013 | Pipiri 2013
This update is issued by the Office of the Chief Registrar, Māori Land Court | Te Kooti Whenua Māori
as part of the ongoing efforts to help inform and assist owners, organisations and government
agencies about the characteristics of Māori Freehold and Māori Customary Land.
MISCELLANEOUS
Review of trust
7.1 The Trustees must apply to the Court for a review of the Trust once every [5] years.
Variation
7.2 Only the Court can vary this Order.
Understanding of the problems encountered by whānau in managing their whenua, for example,
issues arising in trusts, incorporations, marae structures and Māori reservations issues.
Once the court record is updated, your application is complete.
As part of the application, the Court may make additional orders (to the succession order) to give full
effect to the application.
The introduction of the Pātaka Whenua
technology was part of a wider Whenua Māori
Programme of change which also included
implementing legislative change and intro-
ducing new ways of working.
This produced some pleasing results
in both spaces with an increase in new applications to Court in the earlier part of the reporting
year and the closure of some of our older applications.
