The Māori Land Court is notifying all owners of the above block about the following hui:
WHENUA: Lot 26 Reserve 873 (199 Tuahiwi Rd)
DATE: Thursday 27 February
TIME: 10 am
VENUE: Māori Land Court
20 Lichfield Street
Christchurch
Kaupapa:
• Clean up notice from Waimakariri District Council
• Agree on next steps
• Vote on whether to form an ahu whenua trust, or alternative options for managing the whenua
in future....
The lease to be
drawn on the Māori Trustee’s standard form of lease suitably amended or extended as
the lessee and the agent/trustee(s) shall agree on.
The practitioners were given a chance to mingle with the judges, to ask questions of them and, just as importantly, to form connections with other women lawyers. It is hoped that this will be the first of a series of such events.
However, section 338(12) is a barrier to that form of financing on papakāinga reservations. There are not many options for people wishing to build on papakāinga reservations but who need to borrow in order to do so.
In some instances this is because the land has only one or just a few owners, or because the land is unsuitable for any form of development and owners have decided to leave it in its natural state.
