Understanding how we can help you to have a positive experience Just like the marae and how we organise ourselves to carry out the relevant rituals, nau mai is where information gathering and preparation takes place before you file an application. You may want to search our records, submit an enquiry, or talk to us in person.
Agencies such as the Māori Land Court, the Māori Trustee, Collections, and the Electoral Enrolment Centre all have separate databases with addresses of Māori land owners.
Any person appearing in the Māori Land Court, or in any court in New Zealand, can speak or file written documents in te reo Māori as a right under the Māori Language Act 2016.
The Māori Land Court is one of the oldest courts in
New Zealand and the work it does is central to the fabric of the Māori
community, and the Māori economy.”
Since the passing of Te Ture Whenua Māori Act 1993, our role is to:
promote the retention of Māori land in the hands of its owners, whānau and hapū
facilitate the occupation, development and use of Māori land
ensure that decisions made about Māori land are fair and balanced taking into account the needs of all the owners and their beneficiaries.
