There are not many options for people wishing to build on papakāinga reservations but who need to borrow in order to do so. However, it is possible to make application to the Court to have an area excluded from a reservation pursuant to section 338(5), and then to set up an ahu whenua trust in relation to the excluded area with the object of allowing housing development to take place.
Where required, information provided in this application will be included in resulting orders of the Court. Blank Page Blank Page Home Work: Mobile Fax: Email Address: Text61: Text62: Print:
