Te Tumu Paeroa
Office of the Māori Trustee
The Māori Trustee is appointed, in many cases, to act as a responsible trustee to manage Māorifreehold land and other assets on behalf of the beneficial owners.
These are maintained by the local council, or the New Zealand Transport Agency if the roadway is a state highway or motorway. A private Māori roadway on Māorifreehold land can only become a public roadway if:
there’s enough support from the owners of that roadway for it to become public
the local council has agreed in writing to take over and maintain the roadway, and
compensation between the owners and council has been agreed and paid.
The cost for this application is $23.
