The legislative changes to the rating of whenua Māori is part of a wider programme to support Māori land owners, trustees, and whānau to realise their aspirations for Māori. It works in conjunction with other Government initiatives, such as Te Ture Whenua Maori (Succession, Dispute Resolution, and Related Matters) Amendment Act, which we passed in the previous Parliament and that will simplify some of the legal process requirements that Māori land owners face—also, the investment of $56.1 million in Budget 2019, enabling the establishment of regional, on-the-ground advisory services in Te Tai Tokerau, Waiariki, and Te Tai Rāwhiti; also, the creation of a whenua knowledge hub and the Tupu New Zealand website that the Minister launched in February last year; and also new and enhanced services for the Māori Land Court and the modernisation of the Māori Land Court information systems that the Minister worked with the former Minister of Justice on as well; and also the provision of feasibility and investment funds for Māori land owners, through the Whenua Māori Fund; and, finally, $100 million set aside from the Provincial Growth Fund for the development of whenua Māori.
