Frequently Asked Questions

Can I apply to use KiwiSaver to build a house on Māori land?

Yes, as long as you meet the criteria for a First Home Withdrawal. You will then need to provide the following:

  • A completed First Home Withdrawal application form.
  • Documentation confirming that the land you own is a Maori land and that this has the same meaning as in the Te Ture Whenua Maori Act 1993.
  • Legal evidence of the right to occupy that Maori land.
  • Legal agreement for the building of dwelling house, listing you (and your partner, if applicable) as the purchaser.
