Māori Land Update –
Ngā Āhuatanga o te whenua
June 2025 | Hune 2025
This update is issued by the Office of the Chief Registrar, Māori Land Court | Te Kooti Whenua Māori
to provide key statistics on Māori land, including the number and total area of Māori Customary Land
(MCL) and Māori Freehold Land (MFL) blocks, and how many of these are managed by trusts or
incorporations versus those that are not.
I have experienced those difficulties notwithstanding the fact that I was a practising lawyer and familiar with the workings of Te Ture Whenua Māori Act. The difficulty in forming a whānau trust multiplies with each generation that passes.

I know this is a problem, and in my view primarily a matter of banks becoming educated in the Te Ture Whenua Māori Act 1993. Another project which has just been launched on the Māori Land Online website by Te Puni Kōkiri and the Ministry of Justice is the Māori Land Geographic Information System (MLGIS) project.
YES NO
9. Section 218 of Te Ture Whenua Māori Act 1993 contains a list of Māori community purposes to which income may be ap-
plied if provision is made in the trust order.
