In this case, you can talk directly to the trustees about occupying or building on the land and they can approve your plans without court involvement, if the trust order allows it.
The benefits of an ahu whenua trust include:
a greater opportunity to use the land
trustees can be appointed to administer and manage the block
owners can participate in meetings and decisions about the direction of the trust
the trust becomes the single point of contact for the block, and
the trust is a legal entity and trustees can set up a bank account to hold any funds for the beneficiaries.
