A whenua tōpū trust can also hold non-land assets, such as houses, vehicles, or general land interests.
To apply for a lease of more than 52 years (a long-term lease), you’ll need to complete a General Form of Application, and include evidence that at least half of the owners or people who own 50% of the land or 50% of the shares (if the land is vested in an incorporation) have approved the long-term lease.
Use this form to apply to the Court for an order vesting part or all of any Māori Land or General Land owned by Māori in an owner or a person entitled to succeed to an owner for the purpose of a house site or to confirm an existing house site (including a house that has already been built and is located on the land).
