The unengaged owners are not the problem the report imagines
For a significant number of blocks of multiply-owned Māori land today, the engaged
owners are a minority of the owners.
• Any revenue from the lease or licence must be used as
directed by the MLC.
Section 150A of the Act (as amended by section 24 of
Te Ture Whenua Māori Amendment Act 2002) requires any
lease for longer than 52 years to have the consent of at least
half the beneficial owners of the land and the approval of the
MLC.
The benefits of an ahu whenua trust include:
a greater opportunity to use the land
trustees can be appointed to administer and manage the block
owners can participate in meetings and decisions about the direction of the trust
the trust becomes the single point of contact for the block, and
the trust is a legal entity and trustees can set up a bank account to hold any funds for the beneficiaries.
A
composite title is issued to each house owner, comprising: (a) the freehold share
of the lessee in the whole block and (b) the leasehold interest of the lessee in the
individual site.
• Any revenue from the lease or licence
must be used as directed by the Māori
Land Court.
Please note that section 150A of the Act (as
amended by section 24 of Te Ture Whenua
Māori Amendment Act No. 16 2002) requires
any lease for longer than 52 years to have
the consent of at least half the beneficial
owners of the land and the approval of the
Māori Land Court.
