Te Ture Whenua MāoriAct 1993, section(s) ...................................................................................................................................................; o...
In August 2020, the Government passed targeted
changes to Te Ture Whenua MāoriAct 1993 to simplify
the legal processes for owning, occupying and using
Māori land.
When one adds to the mix the underlying principles of Te Ture Whenua MāoriAct 1993 – namely of land retention and land utilisation, in effect two competing principles – then the challenges facing Māori land owners and the Māori Land Court can be quite difficult.

The former Chief Judge, Judge Isaac, retired from his role on 30 April, and accordingly Deputy Chief Judge Fox and Deputy Chairperson Judge Reeves have taken up the roles of Acting Chief Judge and Acting Chairperson respectively.
While individual titles according to shareholding remains the means by which Māori freehold land is administered under Te Ture Whenua MaoriAct 1993, the Act has resulted in an improved approach to Māori aspirations for their land.
