In 2017, an application was made to the Māori Land Court to determine the status of the land, the ownership of the land and the relative interests of the owners.
In August 2020, the Government passed targeted changes to Te Ture Whenua Māori Act 1993 to simplify the legal processes for owning, occupying and using Māori land.

For example, selling land gives the new owner the ownership rights; leasing land gives the lessee a limited right to occupy land in return for payment of rent (and other conditions); mortgaging land gives the mortgagee the right to sell the land if the mortgage is not repaid (refer to section 4 of Te Ture Whenua Māori Act 1993).
