OCCUPATION ORDER: An occupation order provides the right to build on a piece of land owned by multiple owners (but does not grant a title of ownership over that piece of land). Occupation orders can now be granted not only to the landowner or any person entitled to succeed to their interest, but also to beneficiaries of the whānau trust that holds a beneficial interest in the land.
