A whenua tōpū trust:
can include one or more Māori land blocks, or general land owned by Māori
can include a wide range of beneficiaries, for example, a community, hapū or iwi in a specific area
makes the land trustees legally responsible for managing the land
has a Court-approved trust order that sets out the rights and responsibilities of the trustees
requires that any funds received by the trust be used for Māori community purposes, and
doesn’t require any succession to the curr...
Another point that the Court may consider in the context of experience is a nominee’s former or current role as a trustee and the extent to which that has been successful or otherwise. Where a trustee has been involved in difficult situations on other trusts, whether or not a satisfactory explanation has been provided may also be a necessary point to review.
As the saying goes, many hands make light work and those hands ensure preparations for an occasion of this nature and this size are successful, and consequently there are many people that assisted with the arrangements for this occasion to ensure we arrived at this day.

PĀNUI
As a court of record, we are responsible for the accurate documentation of the succession and management of Māori land. The legislation that enables us to perform this role is Te Ture Whenua Māori Act 1993, which recognises the importance of Māori land as taonga-tuku-iho – of special significance to Māori passed down through generations.
