Te Ture Whenua Maori (Succession, Dispute Resolution, and Related Matters) Amendment Bill

Bills are proposals to make a new law or to change an existing one. Only Parliament can pass a bill. Each bill goes through several stages, giving MPs and the public the chance to have their say.

This omnibus bill includes a suite of amendments to Te Ture Whenua Maori Act designed to: enhance the intergenerational wellbeing of owners of Māori land; simplify the complexity and requirements that owners of Māori land encounter when engaging with the Māori Land Court; promote the efficient operation of the Māori Land Court; and ensure that the Māori land tenure system is fit for purpose.
