### sec.85A Trust change decisions if no community forum
This section applies if—
a trustee council, that is an indigenous regional council, proposes to make a trust change decision; and
a community forum has not been established for the division of the local government where the trust land is located.
A trust change decision is a decision—
to put an improvement (including a structure, for example) on trust land; or
to create an interest in trust land (including a lease or mortgage, for example); or
that the trustee council has decided, by resolution, must be dealt with as a trust change proposal within the meaning of section 85 (2) .
The trust change decision has effect only if—
the decision is approved by a majority of the councillors (other than the mayor), regardless of how many councillors take part in any meeting about the decision; and
the councillor for the division of the local government area in which the trust land is located does not vote against approving the decision.
