Legislative changes affecting incorporations
Effective from Waitangi Day, 6 February 2021
Register of interest and annual declaration
Māori incorporations must establish and maintain an interests
register for the Māori land held by the incorporation.
In 1993, the Te Ture Whenua Māori Act was introduced with the purpose of preventing the loss of any more Māori land – which currently makes up approximately 6% of all land in Aotearoa New Zealand. Today, many Māori landowners continue to act as collective kaitiaki of their whenua, to honour and protect their land as taonga-tuku-iho.
