The Local Government (Water Services) Act 2025 came into force on 27 August 2025 introducing new ways for Māori landowners to take action around water service matters affecting whenua Māori. These include appealing decisions that allow water service providers to enter Māori land to do their work, and applying for charging orders if landowners have paid more than their share of water services charges on Māori freehold land held in multiple ownership.
These applications cannot be filed online through Pātaka
Whenua.
• Applications for appeals must use the General Form of Application
(Form 1) stating the Act and the section under which application is
made:
◦ Section 170(1) – for Māori landowners
◦ Section 166(4)(b) – for water service providers.
These applications cannot be
filed online through Pātaka Whenua.
• Applications for appeals must use the General Form
of Application (Form 1) stating the Act and the
section under which application is made:
o Section 129(1A) – for Māori landowners
o Section 118C(4)(b) – for water service
providers.
If a water service provider asks for the landowner’s permission to enter the whenua and there is a disagreement, the provider and landowners go through an internal review process try and find a solution.
The working list of potential owners was updated at a sitting of the Māori Land Court in Te
Waipounamu on 9 September 2021. Further successions will be ongoing.
