Tō koutou whenua 
Te Kata is a 102.474 hectare property situated on Western Valley Road, Little River, Banks Peninsula, and is approximately 40 kilometres from Lincoln. The land comprises of three gullies and is predominantly steep to very steep in contour. The block can be accessed from adjoining land.

The effective area, approximately 75 hectares, is currently utilised for sheep and beef cattle. The balance of the land can be attributed to bush, gorse, scrub and fern.

Background

On 28th September 1977 the Māori Trustee was appointed as Responsible Trustee for your whenua. Te Tumu Paeroa supports the Māori Trustee to carry out her duties and responsibilities and our team work with owners to protect and grow Māori land and assets.

This meeting of owners is a chance for you to find out what’s happening on your whenua and to talk to us about your wishes for the future of this block.

Please let us know if you’re coming (by phone, email or post) before Monday 2nd November 2020.

When you get in touch we need to know your name, client account number and name of your whenua (found at the top of this letter). If you’d like a text reminder a week before the meeting please send us your mobile number and we’ll be in text contact. Here are all of our contact details:

Owner meetings cost money and time to hold. Any costs for owners meetings are charged back to your Trust funds so letting us know if you can make it or not is important. It helps us make the best use of people’s time and money.

Owners’ report

At the meeting you’ll get an owners’ report which has a summary of your land and assets. If you can’t make the meeting, or would like the report before hand, you can see it online in My Whenua* or call or email us and we’ll send one out to you. We’re able to email this to you at no cost but if you want a hard copy posted it will cost your trust fund $15 per copy. 

Review and variation of trust application

Māori Land Trusts must be reviewed from time to time by the Māori Land Court. Following your meeting of owners Te Tumu Paeroa will be filing an application for review and variation of this Trust and its administration with the Māori Land Court.

You are welcome to attend the Court hearing and as soon as we’ve been given a date, place and time for the hearing, we’ll post this information on our website: www.tetumupaeroa.co.nz.  

The Court will also advertise this hearing on their website. If you’ve given us your email address or registered for My Whenua, we’ll be in touch through these channels as soon as we know.

We look forward to seeing you on Monday 9thNovember 2020 in Christchurch.
