TE TURE WHENUA MĀORI ACT 1993
The Māori Land Court (Te Kooti WhenuaMāori) is the New Zealand court that hears
matters relating to Māori land.
However, “alienation” is broadly defined in Te Ture Whenua Māori Act 1993. For instance, an alienation includes the making or grant of any lease, licence, easement, mortgage or charge or any kind of encumbrance or trust in respect of the land in the reservation.
You can submit your application online in Pātaka Whenua. You can download and edit these PDF forms for the Māori Land Court and the Māori Appellate Court applications and email or mail them to us.
There have, of course, been numerous ahu whenua trust orders with composite whānau trust-administered areas created since Te Ture Whenua Māori Act 1993 gave statutory recognition to shareholdings within blocks according to discrete whakapapa groups.
