The bill's fourth initiative addresses the problem of fragmentation of Māori land titles. Many Māori land blocks are quite small, and individually they may not be economic to develop. If owners can agree to manage the blocks as one, development is possible. However, the combined rates charges for these blocks can be very high because of the application of uniform charges under the local authority rating schemes. The bill provides that where multiple units of Māori land are used as a single economic unit, if they were part of the same original block of Māori land they can be rated as if they were one rating unit. The Far North District Council, for example, did this for the Ōkahu blocks in its district, reducing annual rates from $18,000 to $8,000 per annum. This bill will make this universally available for many Māori land owners.
