Preservation of the integrity of the record, the record will prevail As a court of record, our key purpose is to accurately document the succession and management of Māori land. That information makes up the Māori Land Court record, which is the legal and official documentation of land ownership of whenua Māori.
HĀWEA/WĀNAKA SUBSTITUTE SILNA LANDWORKING LIST OF POTENTIAL OWNERS AS AT 23 MAY 2025
The Māori Land Court has released an updated working list of potential owners entitled to
the Hāwea/Wānaka Substitute Land (Section 2 of 5 Block XIV Lower Wānaka Survey
District) under Section 15 of the Ngāi Tahu Deed of Settlement 1997.
It is a good idea to ask them about:
What land blocks you might be an owner in
An accurate record of your whakapapa
How you became an owner or beneficiary to your whenua.

Some people become landowners when a whānau member transfers land to them by gift or sale. The Maori Land Court will ‘vest’ the land interest by way of a vesting order.
The judiciary and the staff of the seven Māori Land Court registries have been working hard to move through the backlog of cases before the Court, there have been new judicial appointments and a host of activity has been undertaken to improve the service provided to Māori landowners.
