TE TUREWHENUAMĀORIACT1993
The Māori Land Court (Te Kooti WhenuaMāori) is the New Zealand court that hears
matters relating to Māori land.
Since the passing of Te TureWhenuaMāoriAct1993, our role is to:
promote the retention of Māori land in the hands of its owners, whānau and hapū
facilitate the occupation, development and use of Māori land
ensure that decisions made about Māori land are fair and balanced taking into account the needs of all the owners and their beneficiaries.
However, it was in major conflict with the traditional ways of land occupation and guardianship for tangata whenua. In 1993, the TeTureWhenuaMāoriAct was introduced with the purpose of preventing the loss of any more Māori land – which currently makes up approximately 6% of all land in Aotearoa New Zealand.
In August 2020, the Government passed targeted
changes to Te TureWhenuaMāoriAct1993 to simplify
the legal processes for owning, occupying and using
Māori land.
