I believe there are some big challenges and big opportunities in the relationship Māori have with local government. Local government is the branch of government that touches our everyday lives and environment, and as iwi become bigger players in regional economies, as here in Whanganui, local government must engage and share decision-making with Māori communities.
The order will then be written up in the Court title records if it affects land, and will be sent to any party who has to act on it, for example the Māori trustee if the Māori trustee has been ordered to pay money he/she is holding, or a Māori incorporation if the order affects shares in that incorporation.
