DEED OF TRUST CHANGES 2023
From 2020 to 2022, HTST completed a two-phase constitutional evaluation of their Deed of Trust. The Trustees considered and accepted the majority of the recommendations from this process. Three significant changes and a number of minor changes have been proposed. For the changes to be implemented, pursuant to clause 24.4 of the Deed of Trust, HTST now seek the approval for the following:
Amendments
These are the main changes in which we are trying to implement within our new Deed of Trust:
A Change of Name
A change of name was recommended to better describe the Trust and the whānau we represent.
Multiple Electorates
Most Trust members whakapapa to multiple Marae, therefore they will now be eligible to register and vote for all maras they whakapapa to. This will be implemented by 2026 at the completion of re-registering all of our Trust-Membership.
Tri-Annual Trustee Elections
Shifting to a single set of Trustee elections once every three years. This will be implemented for the commencement of the 2023 Elections process.
Minor Amendments
Other minor amendments can be viewed in the 'Trust Deed Changes Narrative Booklet' available below.
