Charitable Purposes

The charitable purposes of the Trust are set out in its Trust Deed.   The Trust Deed also defines the Area of 
Benefit for the Trust.  The Area of Benefit is defined by the HANA (High Aircraft Noise Area), MANA (Moderate 
Aircraft Noise Area) & ANNA (Aircraft Noise Notification Area) as those areas appear in the Manukau District 
Plan.  Those areas are the most impacted by current and projected aircraft movements to and from Auckland 
International Airport.  In general terms this area covers part of the suburbs of Wiri, Mangere, Papatoetoe, 
Otara, East Tamaki, Flatbush and Whitford.
