Milford Community Trust

The Milford Community Trust was established in 2007 by the Southland District Council and the Department of Conservation, with the assistance of Environment Southland.

It was created to provide leadership and governance for the Milford community in Milford Sound Piopiotahi. The Trust is governed by a board of seven trustees, from both the community and stakeholder groups. The Trust is now calling upon nominations for trustees. All information is contained in the MCT Nomination Pack 2011.    

The current trustees (and who they represent) are:

Mike Schuck (Chairman)
Paul Phelan (Community appointee)
Andrew Welsh (Community appointee)
Rob Burnell (Community appointee)
Natalie Shanks (Community appointee)
Lou Huia (Milford Community Association)
Diane Ridley (Southland District Council)

The last meeting of the MCT took place on Friday 13 January 2012 at the Fiordland Events Centre. Unconfirmed minutes of MCT's previous meeting are here.
