After 18 months of hearings in Rotorua, 15 applications concerning the administration and utilisation of Utuhina No.3H No’s 2 & 3 Subdivision F will shortly be completed. The major ownership of the land (which has an area of 1.4011 ha situated in Whittaker Road, Rotorua) has been held since 1968 in a long-term testamentary trust for eight of the testator’s children and their descendants.
However, a number of blocks of Māori land held in multiple ownership that are suitable for development are also without any governance entity.
Its purpose was to register all outstanding Māori Land Court orders relating to Māori land ownership in LINZ. The project continued to receive support from the National Government to its completion.
Shareholdings have become highly fractionated. Ownership lists grow exponentially generation by generation.
