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.
The Māori Land Information System (MLIS), the Court’s previous system which held information about whenua Māori and the court record, was only accessible in the court’s district offices.
These reports can provide information about a land block and can help you:
find out where the whenua is — you’ll be able to see the boundaries of the land and find it on the map
see aerial photos of the whenua as it looks now
find out about the environment, economy, and climate where the whenua is
get information about the whenua itself — about the soil, water, slope, and vegetation.
