The PSGE will manage the settlement assets on the claimant group’s behalf. They’ll:
- receive the cash and property agreed as part of the commercial redress
- establish committees to look after environmental features, like rivers and lakes
- work with the government departments who have commitments to the claimant group
- apply for resource consents when needed.
Te Kāhui Whakatau will not be the main point of contact for your claimant group once settlement is complete. Te Kāhui Whakamana (Settlement Commitments), within Te Arawhiti, will take over that role. They’ll work to make sure that both the Crown and the post-settlement governance entity (PSGE) are able to meet the commitments made as part of the settlement.
