Other acts and legislation
Our practice notes Te Ture Whenua Māori Act 1993
Te Ture Whenua Māori Act 1993 (the Act) sets out the full authority, power and limitations of the Māori Land Court and the Māori Appellate Court.
In May 2023 we launched a redesigned web-
site and a new online portal – Pātaka Whenua.
The introduction of the Pātaka Whenua
technology was part of a wider Whenua Māori
Programme of change which also included
implementing legislative change and intro-
ducing new ways of working.
