Who owns the Trust land?

The Trusts own the Trust land.

A Trust cannot sell, exchange, or dispose of Trust land without a unanimous resolution from all Trust members present at a general meeting.

Can the Trust lease the land?

A Trust can lease land. However, leases for longer than 21 years require a special notice to be given for a resolution at a general meeting, where at least three-quarters of eligible voters must agree to that lease.

How am I notified of an AGM?

Trust land can also be mortgaged, if enough shareholders agree.

A mortgage can be used to raise money for investment and business development.
