Much like a partition, an amalgamated block is dependent on:
agreement or sufficient degree of support from the owners
the value of each land block and the shares (before amalgamation)
the value of the new land block (after amalgamation)
access arrangements to the new land block, and
new shareholding, based on the value of the pre-amalgamation shares, in the new land block.
By this means, there is an equitable integration of utilisation of the block with the respective shareholdings of the estate’s beneficiaries and the other owners.
The primary purpose of both meetings will be to discuss:
• The Mouri Tūroa project and opportunities available for owners of the above blocks;
• Options to enable Mouri Tūroa to complete the proposed work, including but not restricted to:
o A limited powers Ahu Whenua Trust over some or all of the above clusters of blocks,
and election of trustee(s);
o The appointment of an agent to represent the owners of some or all of the above
clusters of blocks;
o...
In other respects, as I will also explain, the
engaged owners model is inherently problematic.
The unengaged owners are not the problem the report imagines
For a significant number of blocks of multiply-owned Māori land today, the engaged
owners are a minority of the owners.
You can find "Total area of the block in hectares", "Total interests (shares) of the block", and Owners interests (shares) in the block" in Pātaka Whenua.

Search by Ownership
You can use the ownership search option if you know either the owner name, owner ID, block name, block ID, block
district, ownership category, ownership type, or a combination of the options.
The idea was that an individual or a whānau could consolidate their shares across a large area and in a large number of blocks with many owners, down into a particular piece of land that they would call their own.
