This notice concerns 4.1390 hectares of land at Manaia
Road, Masterton, and Maori claims under the Treaty of Waitangi Act 1975.
The land at Manaia Road, Masterton, is described in legal terms as all that parcel of land containing 4.1390 hectares more or less situate in the District of Masterton, being Section 107 Manaia District and being all the land comprised in certificate of title 37B/66 (Wellington Registry).
The land was once owned by the Crown.
It was transferred to a State-owned enterprise under the State-Owned Enterprises Act 1986.
There is a special notice or "memorial" on the certificate of title for the land which provides that, if the Waitangi Tribunal recommends it, the land shall be resumed by the Crown and returned to Maori ownership (see sections
27A and 27B of the State-Owned Enterprises Act 1986).
The current owner of the land, COLIN LEN TURNER, has applied to the Waitangi Tribunal to have this notice removed.
This has been done under section 8D of the Treaty of Waitangi Act 1975.
ANY MAORI PERSON WHO CONSIDERS THAT THEY, OR ANY GROUP WHICH THEY BELONG TO, HAS A CLAIM TO MAKE TO THE WAITANGI TRIBUNAL ABOUT THIS LAND SHOULD SUBMIT THEIR CLAIM TO THE WAITANGI TRIBUNAL BEFORE THE 28TH DAY OF SEPTEMBER 2001.
Section 6 of the Treaty of Waitangi Act 1975 describes what a claim is.
Claims may be posted or sent to the Registrar, Waitangi Tribunal, 110 Featherston Street (P.O. Box 5022), Wellington.
If no claim about this land is made to the Waitangi Tribunal before the 28th day of September 2001, then the tribunal may recommend that the land no longer be liable to be resumed by the Crown and returned to Maori ownership under section 27B of the State-Owned Enterprises Act 1986.
Dated at Greytown this 21st day of June 2001.
