Seeking Additional Trustees for our Board

The Rod Donald Banks Peninsula Trust/Te Pātaka o Rākaihautū has a vision to develop environmental guardians of the future through improved public walking and biking access, enhancing biodiversity, promoting knowledge and working in partnership with others who share our commitment to Banks Peninsula.
 
We are seeking to appoint up to four new Trustees to our Board and welcome expressions of interest from all sectors of the community. We particulary encourage applications from Women, Tāngata Whenua, Pasifika, other ethnicities, younger members of the community, individuals with a disability and the LGBTQ community.

  • Mātauranga Māori and a commitment to Te Tiriti o Waitangi
  • Governance and chairing
  • Carbon neutrality, biodiversity and restoration
  • Public access negotiation for recreation management
