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.
In general, however, we can be satisfied that the work completed has been of assistance to the majority of owners. As a result of the project, registration of 97% of the 27,411 Māori land titles was completed.
This new initiative provides a visual tool to Māori land owners and users of Māori land to access information to assist in the utilisation and development of their land.
