Ratification of Pouarua On-Account Deed of Settlement and Post Settlement Governance Entity
The mandated negotiators for Te Patukirikiri, Ngāti Māru, Ngāti Pāoa, Ngāti Tamaterā and Ngāti Tara Tokanui have negotiated an on-account deed of settlement with the Crown for the purchase of the Landcorp Pouarua Farm (Pouarua Deed) in advance of the ultimate settlement of the historical Treaty of Waitangi claims for each of the iwi. The offer is contained in the Pouarua Deed.
The people of Te Patukirikiri, Ngāti Māru, Ngāti Pāoa, Ngāti Tamaterā and Ngāti Tara Tokanui can now vote on whether to accept the proposed Pouarua Deed and the post-settlement governance entity (PSGE) that will receive and manage the Pouarua Farm settlement redress.
The two resolutions to be voted on are:
- I, as a member of Te Patukirikiri, support the Pouarua Farm On-Account Settlement.
- I, as a member of Te Patukirikiri, agree that the Pouarua Farm Limited Partnership will be the post settlement governance entity for the Pouarua Farm On-Account Settlement.
