If an owner of Māori freehold land in multiple ownership has paid more than their share of water services changes, they can apply to the Māori Land Court for a “charging order” to recover the excess amount paid.
Traditional whenua boundaries of hapū and whānau were changed and not all members were granted ownership. Individual land ownership made it easier for settlers to buy and sell land.
The lease or occupation license does
not grant a title of ownership; this remains with the trust.
Previously, leases and occupation licenses could only be
issued up to 14 years, a timeframe that made it difficult to
get finance to build on Māori reservation land.
Some Māori land titles have a majority of owners who cannot or will not succeed to
their ownership interest despite attempts to encourage them to succeed.
If an owner of Māori freehold land in multiple
ownership has paid more than their share of water
services changes, they can apply to the Māori Land
Court under section 69A of the Act for a charging
order to recover the excess amount paid.
If an owner of Māori
freehold land in multiple ownership has paid more than their share
of water services changes, they can apply to the Māori Land Court
under section 99 of the Act for a charging order to recover the
excess amount paid.
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.
