NOVEMBER | WHIRINGA-Ä-RANGI
2023
The purpose of the National Pänui / Te Pänui ä Motu is
to provide notice to interested parties of hearings being
conducted in, and applications received by, the Mäori Land
Court.
Once again, some of the larger, more sophisticated trusts have included in their trust orders reference to the specific newspapers that are to be used for notice purposes and the frequency with which the notice must run as well as reference to iwi radio and tribal newspapers for example. The rise of social media networking and internet use has also created an expectation and an opportunity for notice to a wider audience to become more commonplace.
This trust will hold the land for the beneficial owners, hapū, iwi, or Whenua Tōpū trust.

Te whakarerekē i ngā ture o tō tarahiti (utu tāpae $68)
Vary the terms of your trust (filing fee $68)
Trustees must manage any land or interests as set out in the terms of the trust order.
Only in special circumstances will a Māori reservation be set aside for anyone other than the whānau, hapū, and iwi traditionally associated with that particular land.
It’s designed
to facilitate the use and administration of the land
in the interest of the iwi or hapū. This type of trust
is also used for receiving Crown land4 as part of any
settlement.
The Act recognises that blocks of Māori land
are generally owned by people connected
to each other and to the land through kin
groups, such as iwi 7 and hapū 8. In order to
preserve the kin groups, the Act restricts
the type of people to whom land can be sold
or gifted.
