Raukawa seeks settlement trust CE

7:20 pm on 12 March 2013

The business arm of South Waikato tribe Ngati Raukawa is seeking a new chief executive.

In 2012 the iwi signed a Deed of Settlement, which included commercial redress totalling $50 million and the return of culturally significant sites along the Waikato River.

The current Raukawa Settlement Trust chief executive, Grant Burgham, is due to end his term in June 2013.

He has indicated his intention to return to Northland when his contract with the South Waikato tribe comes to an end.
