Many landowner journeys begin when a whānau member passes away and their land interests or shares in an incorporation are transferred to their whānau members.
There are many ways Māori connect with and utilise whenua, depending on the economic, social, and cultural aspirations of the whānau for the whenua. The Māori Land Court, alongside our partner agencies, are here to support you and your whānau throughout your whenua journey.

This may mean connecting with other agencies and exploring funding opportunities that can help you and your whānau reach your aspirations for your whenua.
In recognition of the principles of the Act that land is taonga
tuku iho, of special significance, and to promote the retention
of the land in the hands of its owners and their whānau and
hapū, the judges usually require that an owner wishing to gift
or sell an interest first consult with their children and whānau.
These updates, made through the Māori Land Court Amendment Rules 2026, are designed to make it easier for Māori landowners and whānau to engage with the Court and have their matters dealt with efficiently and fairly.
