Decision-making remains with elected trustees.
Seven trustees in total

The Chair must be resident on Wharekauri.
Major asset transactions require 75% voter approval.
Annual reporting, audited accounts, and transparent remuneration.
Independent Trust Deed review within 7 years.
A Kaunihera Kaumātua will provide advice on tikanga, reo and whakapapa to ensure decisions reflect te ao Māori values.
