Some people become landowners when a whānau member transfers land to them by gift or sale. The MaoriLand Court will ‘vest’ the land interest by way of a vesting order.
Since the passing of Te Ture Whenua Māori Act 1993, our role is to:
promote the retention of Māoriland in the hands of its owners, whānau and hapū
facilitate the occupation, development and use of Māoriland
ensure that decisions made about Māoriland are fair and balanced taking into account the needs of all the owners and their beneficiaries.
