Information, resources and links have been arranged to make it easier for you to find as you begin or continue your whenua and whānau journey. The website is also the gateway to our online portal Pātaka Whenua.
The changes in the Act respond to demand to build
papakāinga housing on Māoriland for the purposes of
supporting Māori into housing and whānau to return to
their whenua.
The scope of the review focuses on four key areas:
• Ownership: Māoriland owners are affiliated and engaged with the land;
• Governance: there are appropriate structures and trustees with expertise to
support effective decision-making;
• Access to resources: resources are available to enact decisions; and
• Utilisation: the better utilisation of Māoriland is enabled.
