NGA PITOPITO KORERO
Following the Special Meeting held at Mataatua Marae, 11 June 2011, the landowners present
decided they would like more time to discuss the following options with the beneficiaries of the
respective blocks in response to the Trust Board advising it intends to surrender as responsible
trustee to Tuhoe Tuawhenua B Trust
Options:
1. Tuhoe Tuawhenua B Trust remain the entity to govern and administer the 8 blocks
2. Individual blocks at their own desire may withdraw from the current Tuawhenua B Trust and set up their own trust
3. Transfer the administration to an exiting entity to continue the administration of the aggregated blocks as responsible trustee. [This may require a review of the preferred entity’s Trust Deed and Trustee- representation]

History
The blocks vested in this trust were previously part of a much larger amalgamation of 43 blocks. Following complaints to the MLC that owners were not given sufficient opportunity to consider the amalgamation proposal before Orders were made the Court re-opened the amalgamation application and gave owners the opportunity to state their views.
As a result of re-opening the application the Court found that the owners of the 8 blocks now comprised in the Trust preferred the TWMTB as Trustee and the blocks were vested in the TWMTB on the 20 November 1987.
Land Use
These land blocks are passive.
