Our key purpose is to promote the retention of Māori land in Māori hands, and to support landowners to use, occupy and develop their whenua for the benefit of all landowners, and their whānau and hapū.
The judiciary and the staff of the seven Māori Land Court registries have been working hard to move through the backlog of cases before the Court, there have been new judicial appointments and a host of activity has been undertaken to improve the service provided to Māori landowners.
The Māori Land Court is pleased to announce the public launch of Te Puna Manawa Whenua , the Māori Land Court Bench Book, which is now available on the Courts of New Zealand website.
The conduct of these proceedings would not have been possible without the foresight and commitment of landowners and the growing desire to have the status and role of te reo Māori recognised and living in all aspects of day-to-day life, including the Māori Land Court.
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).
