Māori Land Update –
Ngā Āhuatanga o te whenua
June 2025 | Hune 2025
This update is issued by the Office of the Chief Registrar, Māori Land Court | Te Kooti Whenua Māori
to provide key statistics on Māori land, including the number and total area of Māori Customary Land
(MCL) and Māori Freehold Land (MFL) blocks, and how many of these are managed by trusts or
incorporations versus those that are not.
As the first fully bilingual judgment issued in its history, it signals the enhancement of te reo Māori in the Court. This, at a time when the nation is celebrating the 50th year of the anniversary of the Māori language petition, the 40th anniversary of te kohanga reo and the 35th anniversary of te reo Māori becoming an official language of Aotearoa New Zealand.
