29A: Notices in relation to Māori land

You could also call this:

“Rules for sending messages about Māori land”

When you need to send a notice about Māori land under this law, you have to follow the rules in Part 10 of Te Ture Whenua Maori Act 1993. This tells you how to give the notice to the owners of the Māori land. If the notice is asking the owners to give their thoughts, they usually get a certain amount of time to do this. The owners can ask for more time, but they can’t get more than 40 extra working days, unless the Minister or panel says it’s okay to have even more time.
