A mortgage or loan may be acquired by:
the sole owner of a Māoriland block
all the owners of a Māoriland block acting together
the trustees of a Māoriland block who are empowered to raise finance against the block, or
a Māori Incorporation which holds Māoriland.
In 2005 the Government provided over $30 million over a five year period to fund the MāoriFreeholdLand Project in a joint venture between the MāoriLand Court, LINZ, the Ministry of Justice and TPK to ensure the registration of all Māorifreeholdland titles and orders with LINZ.
Changes also strengthen the protections for Māoriland. For example, when whenua is
changed from Māori customary land to Māorifreeholdland, the interests of the owners
will not be individualised.
