About Us:


Mount Wellington Licensing Trust Group (the Group) has been serving the local Mount Wellington and Panmure communities for over 70 years.  Until recently, the Group owned and operated hospitality assets.  To improve the funding to the community, the hospitality assets have been sold, and an investment portfolio has been established.  Funding generated will in the future support a range of community initiatives. The Group consists of a Licensing Trust (MWLT), a company (MWTH), and a Charitable Trust (MWCT). The Boards are deeply committed to making a meaningful impact and investing in the well-being and development of the communities they serve.
