Masterton Trust Lands Trust

Masterton Trust Lands Trust (MTLT) is a unique community-owned charitable trust governed by the Masterton Trust Lands Act 2003.

The Trust was formed in 1872, born out of the Small Farms Association which established Masterton and Greytown. Unsold land in each township was set aside for trusts to administer, with the income devoted to educational and other public utility purposes for the town’s people.

Today, our elected trustees are responsible for ensuring the Trust’s assets are cared for and used appropriately to benefit the community.
