Statement of Proposal - Waikato District Community Wellbeing Trust
During restructuring of the electricity industry in the late 1980’s the Waikato Foundation Trust was formed. Waikato District Council, Hamilton City Council and Waipa District Council are capital beneficiaries of the Waikato Foundation Trust. The Trust supported projects, which contributed to the various community outcomes of the Council’s, as well as focussing on the economic, social and environmental well beings.
The trustees have now resolved to wind up the Trust and Council will receive a capital sum to be used to benefit the community.
Council has resolved to use the sum by forming a Trust that continues to support projects within the Waikato District that further one or more of the nine community outcomes or one or more of the four well beings.
The Waikato District Community Wellbeing Trust will be a Council Controlled Organisation and consultation is required to set up the Trust under the Local Government Act 2002.
