One of the great advantages of establishing a marae, papakāinga, meeting place, recreational or sports ground, or wāhi tapu as a Māori reservation is that while the land is a Māori reservation it cannot be alienated.
Following an urgent Māori Land Court hearing held on Wednesday, 2 August 2023, the Court has directed that the five separate hui scheduled on Saturday, 5 August 2023 for the following Māori Reservations is CANCELLED:
Whakapoungakau No.7A Māori Reservation;
Whakapoungakau No.7B 2 Māori Reservation;
Whakapoungakau No.7C Māori Reservation;
Whakapoungakau No.7F Māori Reservation; and
Whakapoungakau No.7G Māori Reservation.
