This package forms part of the funding towards the recovery for whenua Māori owners affected by Cyclone Gabrielle. The funding is for clean-up of sediment & debris, where mahi has already been completed (either by owners or by contractors) and for any similar mahi to be completed in the future.
Charging orders – water services charges In certain situations, Māori landowners may have to pay for water services. If an owner of Māori freehold land in multiple ownership has paid more than their share of water services changes, they can apply to the Māori Land Court for a “charging order” to recover the excess amount paid.
The practice note addresses important questions that whānau and professionals working in the sector are grappling with including:
How do owners of whenua Māori approve a mortgage?
How is a mortgage registered against whenua Māori?
Setting up an incorporation
Previously, landowners seeking to form an incorporation
need to show that owners with not less than 15 percent of
shares in the Māori land consented to the proposal.
