I understand that in 2004, when the Hon John Tamihere was Minister of Lands, Cabinet approved the investment of approximately $30m in the MFLRP. Its purpose was to register all outstanding Māori Land Court orders relating to Māori land ownership in LINZ.
Final resolution
That an application be filed with the Māori Land Court to constitute the [name of whānau
trust], appoint [list the full names of the elected trustees] as trustees and approve the draft
trust order.
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.
