Te Raparahi Lands Trust is an Ahuwhenua Trust formed under the Te Ture Whenua Māori Act 1993. Under the Act, the Te Raparahi Lands Trust is the Management Structure that administers, amongst other lands, the Te Waotu South 17 block. The Trust also has a 50% share in Te Waotu South A1 Sec2 block.
The principal land holdings of the Te Raparahi Lands Trust are located on Wiltsdown Road, Te Waotu. The lands all fall within the jurisdictional boundary of the South Waikato District & Waikato Regional Council’s. However, the land falls under the Waiariki jurisdictional boundary of the Māori Land Court.
A recent purchase of a 92ha dairy unit on State Highway 1, just north of the Tokoroa Township in June 2011, has taken the pastoral area of the Trust to approximately 482ha.

Our Beneficial Owners
at a glance
The Trust has a large amount of beneficial owners (395). We administer the original lands, as well as new farms, units, and assets that we have accumulated over the years through our business strategy.
Within the register of owners are a large number of sub-trusts, therefore, inflating the number of people who associate to the land. It is important that owners or potential owners continue to succeed to the shares of their predecessors.
Succession is administered by the Māori Land Court and not the Trust. You can always contact the Māori Land Court to investigate whether you are eligible to inherit shares, or even to determine whether the person on a list is the person you are seeking.
