Pātaka Whenua is the online portal that holds the Māori Land Court electronic record, which includes minutes and orders.
If you have a current application in the Māori Land Court that is being delayed by a dispute, you can ask for your application to be put on hold while you go through the dispute resolution process.
In such a case the applicants would be wise to check the local authority district plan to see whether any restrictions on land use may be applicable to the area proposed for an urupā.
In that situation an Alternative Dispute Resolution process had been agreed, that process was
