• Ahu whenua trust
This is the most common Māori land trust. It’s designed
to promote the use and administration of the land in the
interest of the owners.
Setting up an incorporation
Previously, landowners seeking to form an incorporation
need to show that owners with not less than 15 percent of
shares in the Māori land consented to the proposal.
Special fixtures are arranged and advertised in accordance
with the provisions of the Mäori Land Court Rules and they
may not necessarily be listed in this publication.
The introduction of Pātaka Whenua marked
the closing of MLIS (Māori Land Information
System), the previous Māori Land Court technol-
ogy system, which has served the court and land-
owners/users since 1999.
