in looking at these matters, the Māori Land
court must consider:
• the opinions of the owners or
shareholders
• the effect of the proposal on the interests
of the owners or the shareholders of a
Māori incorporation
• the best overall use and development of
the land.
In general, however, we can be satisfied that the work completed has been of assistance to the majority ofowners. As a result of the project, registration of 97% of the 27,411 Māori land titles was completed.
Hui-a-owners
Hui-a-beneficiaries
The Māori Land Court has directed that a hui-a-
owners take place for the sole purpose of an
Election of Trustees, for each of the following
Māori Reservations:
Whakapoungakau No 7A
Whakapoungakau 7B2
Whakapoungakau 7C
Whakapoungakau 7F
Whakapoungakau 7G
There will be five separate hui to elect trustees
to each of the respective blocks.
Māori landowners can use, develop, and manage their land and ensure benefits for all owners. An ahu whenua trust:
holds the trustees legally responsible for the management of the land, and
uses a Māori Land Court-approved trust order, which sets out the rights and responsibilities of the trustees and beneficial owners.
