149D: Statement of performance expectations for newly established Crown entities

You could also call this:

"New Crown entities must follow rules and make a plan for what they want to achieve."

Illustration for Crown Entities Act 2004

When a new Crown entity is set up, it must follow the rules in section 149C as if it were the start of the financial year. You do this as soon as possible after the entity is established. If the entity is set up near the end of its financial year, the responsible Minister can decide what to do.

The responsible Minister can choose not to make the entity follow the rules if it is set up in the last four months of its financial year. The Minister can also decide that the entity's first statement of performance expectations should cover the time from when it is established until the end of its first full financial year.

The responsible Minister can give the entity directions on certain matters before its first statement of performance expectations is final, as explained in section 149E(3)(c). These directions are like a temporary statement of performance expectations for the entity.

The Minister's directions are used until the entity's first statement of performance expectations is final. The rules in sections 113 to 115 also apply to these directions.
