Māori Land Development

Māori Land Development refers to efforts to manage, use, and improve land owned collectively by Māori groups, known as whānau, hapū, or iwi. It aims to ensure sustainable economic growth, cultural preservation, and social well-being for Māori communities. This involves legal, financial, and environmental strategies to develop the land responsibly, often with a focus on agriculture, tourism, or housing. The process respects Māori values and customs, balancing modern development with cultural integrity. Overall, Māori Land Development seeks to empower Māori stakeholders and enhance their connection to ancestral lands.
