- Tenure review
Tenure review is a process of reviewing the use of some high country land in the
South Island ofNew Zealand . It currently involves 20% of the South Island or 10% of the total land area of New Zealand.Historically much of the high country area has been grazed by sheep and cattle. Ann Brower, an academic at
Lincoln University , argues that the process is in favour of the lessees rather than the government. [cite web
