Core Values

Core Values are the guiding principles on which people make decisions and conduct themselves. Unlike visions, missions, goals/objectives and strategies, core values should be constant. They underlie the culture of the organisation and guide selection of strategies.

MLT core values adhered to are;
  • Responsive Service Delivery: The trust will seek to understand community needs and provide customer focused services and facilities, delivered in a timely manner 
  • Good Governance: The Trustees will act with honesty and integrity in the best interest of the community while fulfilling its ethical and statutory obligations
  • Cost Effective Management: Trust will apply sound financial management principles and prudential management practices to ensure efficient and effective use of its resources
  • Effective Communication: The trust will use frequent and varied communication methods to inform the community, seek input/engagement and demonstrate transparent decision making in its dealing with the stakeholders
The uniqueness of licensing trusts revolves around:
  • A responsibility to enhance the well-being of their defined community
  • The distribution of (surplus) profits back to their communities
  • The provision of good, ‘model’ facilities for the sale of alcohol, the provision of accommodation and meals, and gaming
  • Accountability to the communities who own them.

In addition, there is an inherent responsibility to efficiently operate commercial businesses profitably. ​
