Aligning trust procedures to changes in
the Act
You should update your procedures as necessary to reflect the
changes to Te Ture Whenua Māori Act 1993.
Legislative changes supporting
housing initiatives
Effective from Waitangi Day, 6 February 2021
Why make this change?
The changes in the Act respond to demand to build
papakāinga housing on Māori land for the purposes of
supporting Māori into housing and whānau to return to
their whenua.
Section 218 of Te Ture Whenua Māori Act 1993 contains a list of Māori community purposes to which income may be ap-
plied if provision is made in the trust order.
In August 2020, the Government passed targeted
changes to Te Ture Whenua Māori Act 1993 to simplify
the legal processes for owning, occupying and using
Māori land.
