Māori Land Update –
Ngā Āhuatanga o te whenua
June 2015 | Pipiri 2015
This update is issued by the Office of the Chief Registrar, Māori Land Court | Te Kooti Whenua Māori
as part of the ongoing efforts to help inform and assist owners, organisations and government
agencies about the characteristics of Māori Customary and Māori Freehold Land.
The changes affect all trusts,
including Māori land trusts created through the Māori Land Court
(such as ahu whenua, kaitiaki, and whānau trusts) and existing
trusts established before the law came into force.
It’s not about the backlog, rather it’s the impact that the delays have had on Māori land owners, their whanau and their hapū, as ultimately justice delayed is justice denied.
Since the establishment of the Native land Court 1865, we have collected and managed over 23 million documents, all of which are linked in some way to whenua and whānau Māori.

Good governance is the key From the experiences of Māori Land Court Judges, good governance is the key to effective utilisation of Māori land held in multiple ownership.
The new mediation provisions give the Court and Māori land owners a grand opportunity to
define how we will resolve differences for the benefit of whānau, hapū and iwi.
