"What the Game Bird Habitat Trust Board can do to help game birds"

The New Zealand Game Bird Habitat Trust Board has the power to do what it needs to do its job. You can think of the Board like a team that works together to help game birds and their homes. The Board can make decisions and take actions to achieve its goals, and it can also set up committees to help with its work.

The Board can do things like create committees, speak up for itself in public, make game bird habitat stamps, and decide how to use its money. When the Board makes decisions, it has to think about what the Minister has said in writing. The Minister is like a supervisor who helps guide the Board.

The Board also has to send its annual report to the Minister before it can share it with the public, as stated in section 44K. This report is like a summary of what the Board has done during the year. The Board can even go to court to talk about things that affect its work, and it can be heard by judges and other important people.
