96C: Service on owners of Māori land

You could also call this:

"Notifying owners of Māori land about important documents and notices"

Illustration for Crown Minerals Act 1991

When you need to give notices or documents to owners of Māori land under the Crown Minerals Act, you follow the rules in Part 10 of Te Ture Whenua Maori Act 1993, but with some changes. You cannot extend the time for owners to do something by more than 20 working days, unless the chief executive agrees to a longer time. This is because section 181(4) of Te Ture Whenua Maori Act 1993 has rules about time limits, and you must follow them.
