Māori land trusts
Māori land trusts are used to manage whenua owned by multiple people. Because Māori land can have so many owners, creating a trust can be an efficient way to make decisions about the whenua.
The whānau trust AGMs follow the ahu whenua trust AGM i.e. they choose their representative away from the ahu whenua trust meeting, after hearing how it is being administered.
