Pae Matua Steve Gunson is pleased to announce that expressions of interest to become a mediator for Te Ratonga Whakatau Wenerau o Te Kooti Whenua Māori - the MāoriLand Court Dispute Resolution Service are now being received.
In August 2020, the Government passed targeted
changes to Te Ture Whenua Māori Act 1993 to simplify
the legal processes for owning, occupying and using
Māoriland.
Information about whenua is generally held by the district office that is located closest to that land block. You can visit one of our offices to view:
current and historic ownership lists for whenua Māori
minutes of hearings of Court and Registrar decisions
current and historic memorial schedule information recording leases, occupations and other land uses
orders made by the court or a Registrar – including:
title orders (creating Māoriland)
trust order...
Te Puna Manawa Whenua is written by MāoriLand Court judges. It is overseen by a judicial editing komiti, comprised of MāoriLand Court judges, supported by legal research counsel from the MāoriLand Court.
The changes affect all trusts,
including Māoriland trusts created through the MāoriLand Court
(such as ahu whenua, kaitiaki, and whānau trusts) and existing
trusts established before the law came into force.

The details of your complaint.
The drafters of the Act clearly
understood the dynamics of Māoriland and Māorilandowners.
Accordingly, under the Act the engaged owners presently make decisions about their
land through the legal structures of trusts and incorporations.
That Court agreed with the MāoriLand Court and ordered a further meeting of owners but endorsed the Māori Appellate Court’s decision that all of the trustees were eligible for reappointment.
