In May 2023 we launched a redesigned web-
site and a new online portal – Pātaka Whenua.
The introduction of the Pātaka Whenua
technology was part of a wider Whenua Māori
Programme of change which also included
implementing legislative change and intro-
ducing new ways of working.
Since the passing of Te Ture Whenua Māori Act 1993, our role is to:
promote the retention of Māori land in the hands of its owners, whānau and hapū
facilitate the occupation, development and use of Māori land
ensure that decisions made about Māori land are fair and balanced taking into account the needs of all the owners and their beneficiaries.
