Te Kooti Whenua Māori – Māori Land Court
You do not need to register in Pātaka Whenua to be able to access information or make an application or enquiry.
The annual report reflects on what was an extremely busy year for the court. The judiciary and the staff of the seven Māori Land Court registries have been working hard to move through the backlog of cases before the Court, there have been new judicial appointments and a host of activity has been undertaken to improve the service provided to Māori landowners.
The practice note demystifies what can appear a complex subject, and support both whānau and lenders to improve access to finance for development activity on whenua Māori.
If your land becomes landlocked (surrounded by other land that prevents access), you'll need to negotiate and formalise reasonable access with the surrounding property owners.
Special fixtures are arranged and advertised in accordance
