Te Hiku Iwi Development Trust
We have started working with Te Hiku Iwi
Development Trust, formed by Ngāi Takoto, Te
Apōuri, and Te Rarawa, on developing a joint
action plan.
These changes include making it easier for landowners to establish Māori incorporations,
and provisions for removing a trustee or a member of a committee of management of an
incorporation have been updated.
It is also called a trust order.
A trust order sets out the general purpose of the trust and
well as the responsibilities, rights, obligations, and
limitations of the trustees.

3. Where the title to the land is vested in a Māori land trust (e.g. an Ahu Whenua Trust or a
Whānau Trust) the trustees can approve a mortgage against the land subject to any
restrictions in the trust order (ss 147 and 150A of the Act)
Fifth The project has also highlighted the need for the Māori Land Court to be more proactive in its identification and review of defunct trusts and incorporations due to circumstances such as the death of key trustee or management committee members.
