Support was given for the formation of a whānautrust. An application to constitute a whānautrust was filed in 2004 and eventually heard in February of 2005.
Interest based trusts
Tarati whānau (utu tāpae $68)
Whānautrust (filing fee $68)
A whānautrust combines the interests of a whānau (family) into a single trust.
The respective whānautrusts are coordinated through an ahu whenua trust for the management of the whole block and in dealings with third parties such as the Rotorua District Council.
