Māori Land Development Scheme

The Māori Land Development Scheme is a government initiative aimed at supporting Māori landowners in managing, developing, and benefiting from their land. It provides funding, resources, and guidance to help Māori individuals and groups unlock the economic potential of their land, such as through farming, forestry, or other enterprises. The scheme respects Māori cultural values and aims to empower Māori communities by promoting sustainable land use and contributing to Māori economic development while preserving traditional connections to the land.
