From its beginnings
as a mechanism that enabled the acquisition by
Pākehā of huge tracts of Māori land, the Court
has continued to evolve to the present day when
it enables and assists with the retention and
utilisation of Māori land by its owners, whānau
and hapū.
The Māori Land Court has been here for 150 years
and if Māori have their way, it is here to stay.

Support was given for the formation of a whānautrust. An application to constitute a whānautrust was filed in 2004 and eventually heard in February of 2005.
Interest based trusts
Tarati whānau (utu tāpae $68)
Whānautrust (filing fee $68)
A whānautrust combines the interests of a whānau (family) into a single trust.
The respective whānautrusts are coordinated through an ahu whenua trust for the management of the whole block and in dealings with third parties such as the Rotorua District Council.
