Once all, or most, owners have been identified, the
Trustees will consider opportunities for the whenua to be
utilised productively, in a manner that may generate income
and benefits for the whānau, as was originally intended.
If you believe that you, your parents, or another whānau
member may be an owner, please contact Barry Stewart at
bj.stewart@xtra.co.nz.
There are many ways Māori connect with and utilise whenua, depending on the economic, social, and cultural aspirations of the whānau for the whenua. The Māori Land Court, alongside our partner agencies, are here to support you and your whānau throughout your whenua journey.
