Illustration for Fast-track Approvals Act 2024

When you need to give notices to the owners of Māori land under the Fast-track Approvals Act 2024, you follow the rules in Part 10 of Te Ture Whenua Maori Act 1993. If the notice asks the owners for their comments, they usually have a certain amount of time to respond. This time can be extended, but not by more than 40 working days, unless the Minister or panel says it is okay to extend it further, as stated in section 181(4) of Te Ture Whenua Maori Act 1993.
