  • Pipiriki Township
    IOFFICIALI Wai 903, #A23 PIPIRIKI TOWNSHIP BRIAN HERLIHY & ASSOCIATES This report was commissioned by the Waitangi Tribunal following a claim by the Ranana Trust relating to land in the Pipiriki Township (Wai 428) September 1995 PROPRIETORS OF PIPIRIKI TOWNSHIP NO. 1 7 OTHER BLOCKS INC. (Maori Affairs Act 1953) Pipiriki Township No. 1 Whakaihuwaka C12 Waharangi 7A All correspondence to : Waharangi 7A3 The Secretary Waharangi No. 4 PO Box 282, WANGANUI Telephone/Fax 06 345 4172 20 January 1994 RECEIVED 26.1.94 The Chairman Waitangi Tribunal PO Box 5022, WELLINGTON Dear Sir The Incorporation hereby notifies a Statement of Claim in respect of two parcels of land in Pipiriki Township which it considers should be returned to Maori Ownership from The Crown. (a) Section 24 Block I - Pipiriki Township. This land was originally surveyed in the early 1990’s as a European Cemetery and at that time had three marked graves on it. Since then no further European burials have been made in Pipiriki and it is considered that the parcel of land set aside for a cemetery reserve is extremely excessive especially when compared with similar Maori burial sites in Pipiriki. (b) Sections 1, 2, 3 Block IX - Pipiriki Township. This land was designated a Crown Reserve in 1988 without reference to any persons or organisations as Owners of such land. In both cases the PROPRIETORS OF PIPIRIKI TOWNSHIP NO. 1 AND OTHER BLOCKS INC. is the correct claimant of such land being the body in whom freehold title of Pipiriki Township is vested. This claim is made under the auspices of the Whare Ranana Trust who are administering all such claims in the Pipiriki area presently with the Waitangi Tribunal.
