The MLC operates under the provisions of Te TureWhenuaMāoriAct1993 (‘the Act’).
The regulations referred to in this factsheet are contained in
the Māori Reservations Regulations 1994 (‘the Regulations’).
In August 2020, the Government passed targeted
changes to Te TureWhenuaMāoriAct1993 to simplify
the legal processes for owning, occupying and using
Māori land.
As a court of record, we are responsible for the accurate documentation of the succession and management of Māori land. The legislation that enables us to perform this role is Te TureWhenuaMāoriAct1993, which recognises the importance of Māori land as taonga-tuku-iho – of special significance to Māori passed down through generations.
