Our key purpose is to promote the retention of Māori land in Māori hands, and to support landowners to use, occupy and develop their whenua for the benefit of all landowners, and their whānau and hapū. As a court of record, we are responsible for the accurate documentation of the succession and management of Māori land.

Before you submit an application to the Court, make sure you have had a kōrero with your whānau. Kaitiaki whenua (land guardianship) is about the collective and the wellbeing of whenua, whānau and whakapapa, so it is important to discuss your application with those who may be impacted.
This helps to ensure the hearing goes as smoothly as possible for you and your whānau. Before the court hearing, we will contact you to arrange a test call.
“Pātaka Whenua also enables a connectedness that has not existed before – whānau living in across the ditch and further afield will have the same access to the court record, a taonga tuku iho, as those who are able to visit us in person today.”
