Over the years numerous reviews of Te Ture Whenua Maori Act have emphasised that the law for Māori land needs to be an enabling law so that the participating owners can make decisions without having to get court approval. Multiple reviews have repeatedly determined that the law is required to be a protective law too so that Māori land is retained by Māori. The law needs to give Māori land owners a clear and accountable governance framework within which to develop their land. Moreover, the law must include a better dispute resolution support structure for Māori land owners, and the law needs to have options to address fragmentation.
