Pātaka Whenua
Our online portal
Visit Pātaka Whenua to find information about your whenua, search the court record, or send us an application or enquiry.
Our key purpose is to promote the retention of Māori land in Māori hands, and to support landowners to use, occupy and develop their whenua for the benefit of all landowners, and their whānau and hapū.

updates on current applications and enquiries
updating information in Pātaka Whenua
