The Te Ture Whenua Māori Amendment Act is a New Zealand law that modifies the original Te Ture Whenua Māori Act 1993. Its primary aim is to enhance the management and protection of Māori land, ensuring that it remains in the hands of Māori owners. The amendment addresses issues related to land use, governance, and the rights of Māori landowners, promoting better decision-making processes. This Act also encourages the development of Māori land by simplifying procedures for land use and providing support for Māori landowners. It seeks to empower Māori communities, allowing them to make informed choices about their land while preserving their cultural heritage and identity.
