E te rangatira, tēnā koe.
The Māori Land Court warmly invites you once again to share your thoughts on the service you’ve received from us - this time, with a focus on your experience using Pātaka Whenua.
In August 2020, the Government passed targeted
changes to Te Ture Whenua Māori Act 1993 to simplify
the legal processes for owning, occupying and using
Māori land.
This act confirms the purpose of the visit. At this stage in te pā whenua, the decision or outcome of the application will be actioned by carrying out a change in the land and/or landownership.
The judiciary and the staff of the seven Māori Land Court registries have been working hard to move through the backlog of cases before the Court, there have been new judicial appointments and a host of activity has been undertaken to improve the service provided to Māori landowners.
If there is a disagreement about access to the land, there are provisions for an internal review, and for the water service provider or the landowner to appeal to the Māori Land Court.
Haere mai is the reo pōwhiri at the marae. At this point in te pā whenua, you should have gathered all the information you need, and you should be ready to file an application with the Court.
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.
Manaaki whenua, manaaki tangata, haere whakamua
Care for the land, care for the people, go forward Like the marae, Tū Atu is when manuhiri and hau kainga share kai (food).
