But the real challenge remains what it has always been for us all – the administration of Māori land and the delivery of services in accordance with the aspirations or rangatiratanga of Māori to retain, utilise and develop their land for the benefit of the owners, their whanau and hapu in accordance with their own cultural preferences.

Work is now underway to create a more advanced system to provide a better service to landowners. This is in a more foetal stage of planning so I do not have much information but I am told it will improve access, accuracy and security of information contained in the Māori Land Court, which is very positive.
