A whānau trust combines some or all the Māori land interests of an owner or owners into a single
trust, to be held on behalf of their whānau.
I now turn to consider in detail the five propositions and the various
recommendations made in the Panel’s report.
Proposition 1: Utilisation of Māori land should be able to be determined by a
majority of engaged owners
The difficulty with proposition 1 is its underlying premise that there are significant
impediments in the Act to the engaged owners utilising their land, and that a remedy
is therefore needed.
