Treaty of Waitangi Act 1975

Recommendations in relation to Crown forest land

8HH: Public notice

You could also call this:

"Telling the public about an application to use Crown forest land"

When someone makes an application under section 8HE, they must give public notice of the application. You will see this notice in the Gazette and in newspapers that people read in the area where the land is located. The notice will be published as directed by the Tribunal.

The public notice must describe the land and where it is. It must also say that someone has made an application under section 8HE about this land. The notice will explain that the land is Crown forest land with a Crown forestry licence.

The notice invites Maori to submit claims to the Tribunal if they think they have grounds for a claim under section 6 about this land. The notice will give a date by which claims must be submitted, which is at least 90 days after the notice is first published in the Gazette. It will also briefly describe any claims already submitted under section 6 about this land. If no claims have been submitted, the notice will explain what might happen if no claims are made. The notice must include any other information the Tribunal requires.
