Te Kooti Whenua Māori has directed that a hui-a-owners takes place for the sole purpose of an Election of Trustees, for each of the following Māori Reservations.
Since the passing of Te Ture Whenua Māori Act 1993, 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.
Because Māori land can have so many owners, creating a trust can be an efficient way to make decisions about the whenua.
The Māori Land Court bench have released a practice note for lending money on whenua Māori.
It is a good idea to ask them about: What land blocks you might be an owner in An accurate record of your whakapapa How you became an owner or beneficiary to your whenua.
The purpose of this is to allow those government agencies to share information and hold consultation with potential owners to enable their informed decision making when it comes to SILNA land interests.
