While the Māori Land Court is not required to consider the local authority district plan when determining an application for an urupā reservation on Māori freehold land, a stricter approach may be taken if the urupā is proposed to be placed on general land.
The main priorities for the Court now are first, to remedy errors in the lists, using s 86 of TTWMA, and second, to update the list of successors based on previous and new evidence, the latter of which requires hearings to be held so evidence can be heard. An application form based on the existing form for successions has been modified for the purposes of SILNA determinations, and individual applications are linked to a central file to ensure consistency.
