Two types of Māori land are defined - Māori freehold land and Māori customary land.
The Māori Land Court moved to a new database, Pātaka Whenua, in late May 2023 replacing the Māori Land Information System (MLIS).
As a result, from time to time the Māori Land Court receives applications to extend existing urupā, or to set aside Māori freehold land, or sometimes General land owned by Māori, as new urupā reservations.
The Māori Land Court (Te Kooti Whenua Māori) is the New Zealand court that hears matters relating to Māori land.
