1. The reserves board was established under the Ngāti Whātua Orākei Claims Settlement Act 2012 [1].

2. The reserves board governs Pourewa Creek Recreation Reserve and the whenua rangatira [2]. It was set up as a part of the return of land to Ngāti Whātua on the basis that the reserve land referred is for the common use and benefit of Ngāti Whātua and the people of Auckland.

3. The reserves board has the powers of an administering body and a local authority under the Reserves Act 1977 (for further information see the Department of Conservation's Reserves Act page). It consists of three members appointed by Ngāti Whātua and three members appointed by Auckland Council. The council is required to meet the board’s costs [3].
