Access to Māori land was generally considered when the title of the land was originally issued and in many cases:
a roadway would have been created to give access to the land
there may have already been a public or private roadway servicing the land, or
a right of way to access land, across a neighbouring property, may have been put in place.

As a court of record, we are responsible for the accurate documentation of the succession and management of Māori land. The legislation that enables us to perform this role is Te Ture Whenua Māori Act 1993, which recognises the importance of Māori land as taonga-tuku-iho – of special significance to Māori passed down through generations.

Preservation of the integrity of the record, the record will prevail As a court of record, our key purpose is to accurately document the succession and management of Māori land. That information makes up the Māori Land Court record, which is the legal and official documentation of land ownership of whenua Māori.
