10.50 am	WAIPAPA MARAE TRUST – Chairman, Cath Holland In response to issues that question the ability of the Trustees to govern and manage the responsibilities of the Trust, in the best interests of our beneficiaries: Why did Waipapa Marae Trust enter an agreement with the collective of Ngā Marae o Kāwhia Moana and Waikato Tainui, to settle the WAI 30 and Remaining Claims on behalf of beneficiaries, without consulting the Ruununga? In respect of the purchase of 5491 State Highway 31, Kāwhia. What does the Trust intend doing with the property? What has been agreed by the Marae Trust with Te Arataura? What analysis (investment planning and risk assessment) has the Trust done to mitigate any potential risks to the long-term sustainability of Waipapa Marae and the Trust? What consideration was given to the impact of this decision to the Rūnunga, for it to finalise its negotiations with the Crown? What is the Marae’s relationship with the Rūnunga? The Trust has failed to meet its obligations and legal responsibilities as detailed in the Trust Charter; an example being the Trust’s response to convening this SGM. The Trust has failed to communicate with its beneficiaries in an open and transparent way.
12.30 pm	LUNCH
1.00 pm	Continuation of issues raised by beneficiaries. The Trust is required to consult and consider the views of its beneficiaries, before making any decisions Trustees are “significantly” conflicted in their ability to make considered and impartial decisions. What is the detail of the next phase of the infrastructure build including any site or structural changes? Why has Waipapa Marae remained closed when COVID restrictions have been lifted?
2.15 pm	OPEN FORUM
3.15 pm	KARAKIA WHAKAMUTUNGA
