Land registration, survey and lease administration.

What this authority does

Administers state leases and the land register. Most land is customary land held by kainga groups, and ownership disputes are heard by the Magistrates' Courts in their lands jurisdiction with appeal to the High Court, so the register does not settle title on its own.

Services for the public

  • Lease applications
  • Land registration
  • Survey
  • Land dispute referrals
