That provides a great deal of protection because the land cannot be sold or gifted away. Nor can the land be taken by way of an agreement under the Public Works Act 1981.
(2) If the agreement is executed in New Zealand, the signature of the transferor must be attested by an independent person aged 20 years or more
(not being a member of the transferor’s immediate family or an owner in the land being alienated) who must, print below his or her signature,
his or her full name, occupation and residential address
For example, one ahu whenua trust has over 8,000 beneficial owners for an area of land less than 200 hectares with income of less than $10,000.00 per annum.
The Court may, on considering your notification, arrange for the application to be set down for a formal hearing if the
application has yet to be determined or for a rehearing if the application has already been determined.
