Illustration for Hauraki Gulf Marine Park Act 2000

You can think of the Hauraki Gulf Forum as a group that works together. The group chooses one of its members to be in charge of certain tasks for at least 3 years. If the group cannot decide who should be in charge, the Minister will choose one of the members. The member in charge can be chosen again after their term is over. The member in charge has two main jobs: to help the Forum and to make sure the Forum's tasks are done. For administrative purposes, the Forum is like a committee of the member in charge. This means the member in charge helps the Forum with its work.
