Concessional Rents

As a community–owned trust, we make property available to support the people of Masterton in community endeavours. By providing rent–free premises to community groups in Masterton, we’re able to help keep their services and activities affordable, or free for locals. Our concessional rent grants cover the annual rent cost for the Trust–owned building the community group operates from. While these properties don’t provide a financial return, they deliver social, cultural and educational dividends to our community. They also provide a physical home – spaces for people to gather and connect, spaces to deliver much needed community assistance, and spaces for recreational pursuits. Current recipients of concessional rent grants include –

• Masterton Judo & Ju Jitsu Academy – Ngā Tōtara Hall, 203 Ngaumutawa Road
