Our People

Our Trustees and management team serve the community through:

  • providing quality property for our tenants
  • maintaining and growing the Trust’s assets to maximise returns for the community, and
  • distributing returns through grants to benefit the people of Masterton.

Board of Trustees

Our Board consists of eight Trustees elected by voters living within the Trust district. Trustees serve a six year term. Every three years, as part of the local government elections, four Trustees must either retire or stand for re-election. The Board is currently led by Chair, Christine Brewster

Our Trustees meet formally eight times per year. There are also three sub-committees that meet as required:

  • Community Grants
  • Education Grants
  • Audit, Risk, and Property

Trustee remuneration is set by the New Zealand Remuneration Authority.
