E te rangatira, tēnā koe.
The MāoriLand Court warmly invites you once again to share your thoughts on the service you’ve received from us - this time, with a focus on your experience using Pātaka Whenua.
Information about whenua is generally held by the district office that is located closest to that land block. You can visit one of our offices to view:
current and historic ownership lists for whenua Māori
minutes of hearings of Court and Registrar decisions
current and historic memorial schedule information recording leases, occupations and other land uses
orders made by the court or a Registrar – including:
title orders (creating Māoriland)
trust order...
Now, landowners and other court users can choose to resolve
disputes related to Māoriland through a free tikanga-based
dispute resolution service provided by the MāoriLand Court.
This is also a good opportunity to review the way
your trust keeps and provides information.
How can I find out more?
If you have further questions, contact a MāoriLand Court office.
