The Te Ahu Charitable Trust Committee

Acknowledgement for their great contribution with respect to the Te Ahu project goes to Yvonne Sharp in her role as Chair of the Committee and to Sue Shepherd and Jack Katavich.

Following the local authority elections, the structure of the committee has yet to be determined going into the new year. As soon as the members of the committee have been confirmed, this area of the website will be updated.

The primary purpose of the Committee is as follows:

• To select and appoint those Trustees to be appointed by the Far North District Council
• To exercise any powers and to perform the role of the Far North District Council in relation to the Statement of Intent
• To receive all reports from the Trust
• To manage and supervise all matters between the Far North District Council and the Te Ahu Charitable Trust
