If an owner of Māori freehold land in multiple ownership has paid more than their share of water services changes, they can apply to the Māori Land Court for a “charging order” to recover the excess amount paid.

HĀWEA/WĀNAKA SUBSTITUTE SILNA LAND
WORKING LIST OF POTENTIAL OWNERS AS AT 23 MAY 2025
The Māori Land Court has released an updated working list of potential owners entitled to
the Hāwea/Wānaka Substitute Land (Section 2 of 5 Block XIV Lower Wānaka Survey
District) under Section 15 of the Ngāi Tahu Deed of Settlement 1997.
When this happens, descendants
who do whakapapa to the land are often not entitled to succeed
to their land interest or shares until the spouse or partner enters
a new relationship, dies or surrenders their interest.
Setting up an incorporation
Previously, landowners seeking to form an incorporation
need to show that owners with not less than 15 percent of
shares in the Māori land consented to the proposal.
Chief Judge Dr Caren Fox expressed her excitement sharing this resource, stating that it captures a wealth of knowledge about the law relevant to the Court and its jurisdiction.
Examples of what could be considered ‘simple’ trust matters
include:
• forming a whānau trust for a single owner’s interests or
shares; or
• terminating a kaitiaki trust for a minor when the person
reaches 20 years of age; or
• appointing a trustee to a whānau trust.
