389: Amalgamation by Order in Council

You could also call this:

"Combining community trusts with government approval"

If you want to amalgamate community trusts, you need to follow some steps. You must submit your proposal and the latest financial statements of each trust to the Minister if your amalgamation proposal is approved under section 388(4) or if no poll is required.

The Minister will then recommend to the Governor-General whether to amalgamate the trusts. The Governor-General can then make an Order in Council to amalgamate two or more community trusts into one new trust.

The Governor-General can also define the region of the new community trust using meshblocks. This Order in Council is secondary legislation, which means it has to be published according to the rules set out in Part 3 of the Legislation Act 2019.
