The reform options proposed in the paper deal with every stage of the decision making process. The review also assesses how the primary legislation interfaces with other key statutes, and the respective roles central and local government and private groups should play in the provision and management of cemeteries.
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 MLC deals with applications for new trusts, replacement trustees, variations to trusts, reviews of trusts and formal complaints, and receives trust reports and financial accounts.

Following the Government’s decision last week to remove the remaining COVID-19 restrictions, the judiciary, informed by public health advice, reviewed the court operating protocols. Public health advice recommends that people isolate for five days if they have COVID-19 and that masks remain a useful tool to prevent the spread of respiratory viruses.
If there is a disagreement about access to the land, there are provisions for an internal review, and for the water service provider or the landowner to appeal to the Māori Land Court.
