An application must be made to the Māori
Land Court to establish a Māori reservation.
Governance entities In the context in which I work, we have a range of governance entities, from truststo incorporations, but no matter what the governance structure is - whether it is an ahu whenua trust, awhānautrust, a whenua tōpū trust, a pūtea trust, a kaitiaki trust, or an incorporation - key governance skills and capabilities are required.
The Court may, on considering your notification, arrange for the applicationto 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.
