Just before I wind up, I want to make a few brief comments about the Court and the Tribunal. For Te Kooti Whenua Māori this is a time of uncertainty. We await confirmation of the details and programme for the Government’s review of Te Ture Whenua Māori Act, and so now is not the time for comment from the judiciary.
The primary purpose of both meetings will be to discuss:
• The Mouri Tūroa project and opportunities available for owners of the above blocks;
• Options to enable Mouri Tūroa to complete the proposed work, including but not restricted to:
o A limited powers Ahu Whenua Trust over some or all of the above clusters of blocks,
and election of trustee(s);
o The appointment of an agent to represent the owners of some or all of the above
clusters of blocks;
o A full powers Ahu Whenua
Land Management Structures
Note: This includes management structure types of Ahu Whenua Trusts, Whenua Tōpū Trusts, Māori Incorporations, Māori Reservations,
and trusts that are a sole owner of a block.
