Our history
The history of the Kapiti District Trust goes back well before the emergence of commercially operated retirement villages. It is not uncommon to find residents whose own parents also spent their retirement with the Trust. We have remained a viable and successful organisation by continuing to reinvest in our properties to ensure they meet the requirements of today's population of retired people.

The keys to our ongoing success have been our value for money, our on-site facilities and our ability to provide for all levels of retirement.

We are a not-for-profit organisation
The Kapiti District Trust is a not-for-profit organisation. We reinvest any cash surpluses in our properties. We do not face the pressure of maintaining a return for shareholders because we do not have shareholders.

How we are constituted
The Kapiti District Trust is registered as a charitable trust. A Management Committee, which is elected by members, sets policy. Day to day management is the responsibility of the Trust's General Manager and his staff.

Our policy on sales etc
When a resident wishes to vacate a Trust property, the Trust will market the licence to occupy on behalf of the resident following an agreed valuation and the property being refurbished up to an acceptable market standard. The Trust will retain 15% of the current market value of the property. Full details on the terms and conditions are available on request. Prospective residents are welcome to peruse our investment statement and/or our registered prospectus.
