Trustee responsibilities can include: researching options for the whenua on behalf of owners 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.
Agreement on the lands that are subject to the trust. The term and powers of trustees.
