Trustees and Trust Rotation
New Corporate Trustee Model
The new Corporate Trustee model was approved by the Maori Land Court at a hearing in Rotorua on 2 May 2024. This is now part of our Trust Order. As previously outlined the existing 7 individual Trustees are replaced with a new company Trustee and they become Directors of the new Trustee Company called Tumu Kaituna 14 Trustee Company Limited.
A process of rotation of Directors is established and the first election of two new Directors will take place this year. Current Trustees Anaru Bidois and Waldo Houia have decided to step down and there are accordingly two vacancies to fill at this years election. We sincerely thank Anaru and Waldo for their guidance and contributions to the Trust since their appointment in 1990.
The new Trust Order provision can be located here.
The Current Trustees who become Directors are:
- Malcolm Short (Chair)
- Emily Rota Bidois
- Geoffrey Rice
- Uenuku Fairhall
- Georgina Whata
- Anaru Bidois (standing down)
- Waldo Houia (standing down)
