In August 2020, the Government passed targeted
changes to Te Ture Whenua Māori Act 1993 to simplify
the legal processes for owning, occupying and using
Māori land.
No record of these conversations will be publicly available on the Māori Land Court record. If an agreement is reached through mediation, the mediator will record the terms of the agreement and provide this to the Māori Land Court.
The changes affect all trusts,
including Māori land trusts created through the Māori Land Court
(such as ahu whenua, kaitiaki, and whānau trusts) and existing
trusts established before the law came into force.
