As young as New Zealand is, conflicts about land and its uses have been fought about multiple values, only a few of which are tangible and locatable on a map. Land conflicts have arisen over sovereignty, cultural identity, and control of a resource located in, on or under land. Resources under contention have changed over time, from hectarage, to timber, to pasturage, to hard-rock and energy-producing minerals, to water. Recently, conflicts have started to feature a resource with new-found value in the New Zealand real estate market: beauty.
