On 30 October 2015 we turned 150 and to mark that milestone we produced a publication called ‘He Pou Herenga Tangata, He Pou Herenga Whenua, He Pou Whare Kōrero – 150 Years of the Māori Land Court’ Our publication provides a detailed history of the origins of the Native Land Court and looks at the role of the Court over its 150 year history.
A further advantage is that an urupā that is constituted as a Māori reservation and which does not exceed 2 hectares in size is, pursuant to the Local Government (Rating) Act 2002, non-rateable.
There will be an acknowledgement of Judge Coxhead’s appointment as Deputy Chief Judge and details will be confirmed in due course. NEW JUDGE – NATHAN MILNER I am equally delighted to advise that Nathan Milner, of Ngāti Porou and Ngāi Tahu, has been appointed as a new Judge of the Māori Land Court.
