APPLICATION FOR VESTING ORDER
Te Ture Whenua Māori Act 1993
Section 164
Form 30
Rule 11.13(1)

Application: ACCEPTED / REFUSED
Dated: ..............................................................
Only 17% of Māori knew how to speak te reo, only 5% of our children in schools could speak te reo, and furthermore, there were people of that time who declared there was no benefit in teaching te reo and no benefit in the continued survival of te reo Māori.
There are many ways Māori connect with and utilise whenua, depending on the economic, social, and cultural aspirations of the whānau for the whenua. The Māori Land Court, alongside our partner agencies, are here to support you and your whānau throughout your whenua journey.
Many landowner journeys begin when a whānau member passes away and their land interests or shares in an incorporation are transferred to their whānau members.
This action takes manuhiri from the state of sacredness to ordinary and is an expression of the hospitality and generosity of the hau kainga. At this point in te pā whenua, landowners are now ready to take their next step.
