The main priorities for the Court now are first, to remedy errors in the lists, using s 86 of TTWMA, and second, to update the list of successors based on previous and new evidence, the latter of which requires hearings to be held so evidence can be heard. An application form based on the existing form for successions has been modified for the purposes of SILNA determinations, and individual applications are linked to a central file to ensure consistency.

Māori incorporation
A Māori incorporation has a structure like a company and can be set up over any Māori land.
Appeals – access to Māori land If a water service provider wants to enter Māori land to carry out infrastructure work, they must ask for the landowner’s permission in writing at least 30 working days before they plan to enter. If there is a disagreement about access to the land, there are provisions for an internal review, and for the water service provider or the landowner to appeal to the Māori Land Court.
