Trustee responsibilities can include:

attending regular trustee meetings to discuss and debate plans for the trust
communicating with owners and organising hui for owners or trustees to discuss plans for the whenua
visiting the whenua regularly to check on the wellbeing of the land, and
working with people involved in the whenua or trust, such as a lessee, accountant, or management team.
He has led Māori Land Court appointed facilitation processes, Meetings of Owners, and governance appointments, supporting whānau, trustees, and landowners to resolve complex issues through tikanga informed, consent based processes.
