Trustees
Where the land is vested in trustees and
where the trust order 14 allows, the trustees

Judges will follow when making decisions about appointments and the rates that may apply.
The minimum number of trustees for a
reservation is two people (unless the trustee
is a body corporate 7, such as a Māori trust
board or a Māori incorporation).
A trustee does not have to be an owner
in the land.

However, the trustees must have the power to grant
licences to occupy in their trust order. The trust order may
also limit who may apply and impose any conditions.
