During the holiday period, Māori Land Court offices will be closed from 3pm, Wednesday 24 December 2025 and will reopen 10am, Monday 5 January 2026.
Due to limited access to the building, the Auckland Information Office is available by appointment only. Please contact us by email at mlctamakimakaurau@justice.govt.nz
The members of the trust or 'trustees' are appointed to make decisions that protect the whenua and benefit all landowners, also known as 'beneficiaries' of the trust.
The appointment of Dr Ruakere Hond as a Pūkenga to assist the court, under s 32A of Te Ture Whenua Māori Act 1993, provided the level of care required in the matter and one the Court is extremely grateful for.
This will show you:
who the trustees are and when they were appointed
when the land trust was formed
any historical activities of the trust
the trust order or deed.
