Me whakatutuki i a Te Pane Matua Taiao tētehi kaupapa here mō te whakaitinga me te whakatārewa o ngā rēti whenua Māori herekore. Kua whakaaetia hoki e Te Pane Matua Taiao ki te whiriwhiri i ngā tono whakaitinga rēti mō ētehi whenua whaipānga Māori ehara i te whenua Māori herekore.

Kua whakaarotia e Te Pane Matua Taiao ngā mātāpono o ngā kupu whakataki o Te Ture Whenua Māori 1993 me ngā take i te wāhanga 11 o te Ture Local Government 2002 ki te tuhi i tēnei kaupapa here, tae noa ki te whakatau ki te whiriwhiri i ngā tono mō te whakaitinga rēti ki runga i ngā whenua whānui e puritia ana e ngā whaipānga Māori, mō tēnei kaupapa here. Ka tū tēnei kaupapa here i raro i ngā wāhanga 102, 108 me 109 o te Ture Local Government kia whakaahuatia e te kaupapa here he pānga ōna ki ngā whenua Māori herekore me ngā whenua whānui nō ngā whaipānga Māori.

Kua whakatauhia e Te Pane Matua Taiao kāore tēnei kaupapa here e aro atu ki te whakatārewa rēti.


Greater Wellington must1 adopt a policy on the remission and postponement of rates on Māori freehold land2. Greater Wellington has also elected to consider applications for remission of rates on certain land in Māori ownership which is not Māori freehold land.

Greater Wellington has taken into account the principles of the preamble to Te Ture Whenua Māori Act 1993 and the matters identified in schedule 11 of the Local Government Act 2002 in making this policy, including deciding to consider applications for remission of rates on general land collectively owned by Māori in the circumstances set out in this policy. This policy is made under sections 102, 108 and 109 of the Local Government Act which reflects that the policy applies both to Māori freehold land and to general land collectively owned by Māori.

Greater Wellington has determined that this policy does not offer postponement of rates.
