General powers of Trustees
1.3 The Trustees have the following general powers:
(a) all the powers necessary to manage the Trust Property including, in relation to
the Trust Property, all the powers of an absolute owner of the property; and
(b) all the powers necessary to carry out the terms of the Trust, including powers
incidental to those in paragraph (a).
Te Kooti Whenua Māori has directed that a hui-a-owners takes place for the sole purpose of an Election of Trustees, for each of the following Māori Reservations.
Charging orders – water services charges In certain situations, Māori landowners may have to pay for water services. If an owner of Māori freehold land in multiple ownership has paid more than their share of water services changes, they can apply to the Māori Land Court for a “charging order” to recover the excess amount paid.
In the past the Housing Corporation, and its replacement Housing New Zealand, have been prepared to finance the building of dwellings on Māori land by taking security over the house, provided that the borrower can obtain a licence to occupy from the owners or trustees, where the land is held in trust, for a term of at least 21 years.
