Māori Incorporation Register Māori Land Update
Our Māori Land Update is released annually and provides:
the number of customary and freehold titles of Māori land
the number and types of management structures and the size of the land they are responsible for managing.
The benefits of an incorporation include:
the ability to establish and run commercial operations for maximum financial benefit to the shareholders
the application of a corporate model to the management of Māori land
autonomy from the normal Māori Land Court practices that apply to trusts, and
voting and resolutions by shareholders are based on the number of shares held, rather than the number of votes received.
TIP: The CAPTCHA will display 6 characters as a mix of

SEARCH CRITERIA TIPS
• When searching a document name with a page range, only enter up to the first number
instead of the full range as some documents may have the range written differently, e.g.
