What do I need to do? Contact your trust about an occupation license or lease. Before applying to the Māori Land Court for an occupation order, you will need consent from the other owners of the land, and if applicable, from trustees or the management committee of the Māori incorporation over the land.
In the event of a material breach, the Landowner(s) may apply to the Māori Land Court to terminate the Occupation Order.
