However, there are hapū, iwi, and whānau that whakapapa to this land and may have used it for generations.
Before you submit an application to the Court, make sure you have had a kōrero with your whānau. Kaitiaki whenua (land guardianship) is about the collective and the wellbeing of whenua, whānau and whakapapa.
The applicant filed the application to seek solutions to prevent the sale by Council and to secure the future of the land for Mary’s whānau. At a hearing in Waitara on 12 June 2025, the descendants present agreed to consider setting the land aside as a Māori Reservation as the first step to gain administration of the whenua by Mary’s whānau.

Once you have had a discussion with your whānau about your aspirations for your whenua and you have come up with a plan, our Pae Manawa are here to support you with your next steps.
This helps to ensure the hearing goes as smoothly as possible for you and your whānau. Before the court hearing, we will contact you to arrange a test call.
Having a conversation with your whānau about your whenua and whakapapa can be helpful before getting started.
“Pātaka Whenua also enables a connectedness that has not existed before – whānau living in across the ditch and further afield will have the same access to the court record, a taonga tuku iho, as those who are able to visit us in person today.”
