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

with the interested parties.
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
