The Trust
Thanks to the generosity of philanthropists, Neal and Annette Plowman, a 99 year lease and ongoing development programme has been established on Rotoroa Island.
This significant bequest is a special gift to the people of
Auckland, being administered by the Rotoroa Island Trust (RIT) on
behalf of the sole financial beneficiary The Salvation Army. The
Trust is a registered New Zealand charity; proceeds from the
island's landing fee go towards Rotoroa's ongoing upkeep, and the
work of the Salvation Army in New Zealand.
Directors of The Rotoroa Island Trust Company Limited (the
Trustee) are Donald Bell, Barrie Brown (Chairman), John Gow
(Project Manager), Geoff Harley, Chris Liddell, Simon Plowman and
Bruce Vyle. Messrs Bell and Vyle represent The Salvation Army.
