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.
Any final terms of trust are subject to confirmation by the Māori Land Court in accordance with sections 214 or 244 of Te Ture Whenua Māori Act 1993. 5.
If an owner of Māori freehold land with many owners has paid more than their share of water services charges, they can apply to the Māori Land Court for a ‘charging order’ under section 99 to recover the excess amount paid.

Māori trustees and committee of management members are responsible for caring for and managing whenua on behalf of landowners (beneficial owners and beneficiaries).
