Explanatory note

This note is not part of the notice, but is intended to indicate its general effect.

This notice comes into force on the day after the date of its notification in the Gazette and revokes itself at the close of 31 March 2021. It grants an exemption from section 23C(1) of the Maori Trust Boards Act 1955 (the Act) to enable annual hui required by that section to be postponed to any time before the close of 31 March 2021.

This notice applies to a hui if—

the relevant Māori Trust Board informs the chief executive of Te Puni Kōkiri that it intends to postpone, or has postponed, the hui because of the effects of COVID-19; and
the deadline under section 23C(1) of the Act for holding the hui falls between the start of 21 March 2020 and the close of 31 March 2021.

Statement of reasons

The Minister for Māori Development has granted the exemption set out in this notice (and is satisfied that it is appropriate) because it is necessary or desirable to ensure that the deadline for holding annual hui under section 23C(1) of the Act is not unduly onerous or burdensome due to the effects of COVID-19.

The Minister relied on section 28(3) of the COVID-19 Response (Requirements For Entities—Modifications and Exemptions) Act 2020 not to engage about the exemptions set out in this notice because the Minister was satisfied that the exemptions benefit Māori Trust Boards and their beneficiaries and do not materially detrimentally affect any person.

Issued under the authority of the Legislation Act 2012.

Date of notification in Gazette: 29 March 2021.
