The historical list of owners has a written note recording that the block was a state
forest,11 which may have been a mistake and the cause of the land record falling
through the cracks.
But, it is my experience that not all owners will participate even with notice. It is not uncommon for a block of 100-200 owners, for meetings to attract less than 10 owners – and that is on a good day.
Within the Māori Land Court districts, average ownership numbers range from 51 owners per block in the Tākitimu district to 154 owners per block in the Waiariki district.
