UNDERSTANDING OUR CONSTITUTION

The Mangatu Blocks Incorporation Constitution is not a written single constitution but a following of two specific pieces of legislation.

Te Ture Whenua Act 1993 | View on legislation.govt.nz

Māori Incorporations Constitution Regulations 1994 | View on legislation.govt.nz

These two pieces of legislation provide the rules in which the Incorporation must act and carry out its business. Amendments to this constitutional process are challenging and would require a large shareholding (75% of shares) to ratify a change. Where parties are discussing the constitution in relation to Mangatu they are referring to these two documents and sets of rules.

Mangatu will also commit to supporting shareholder knowledge on the understanding of the constitution and working with parties like the Māori Land Court to understand Ahuwhenua Trusts, Whanau Trust & Incorporations.

UNDERSTANDING OUR POLICIES
