In respect of the rabbit-proof fence on the run, the following conditions are to be observed and fulfilled by the lessee:—

1. He shall at all times during the term of his lease keep in good repair and condition as a sufficient rabbit-proof fence every rabbit-proof fence now existing on any part of the lands comprised in his lease, or upon the boundary of the same.

2. If any such rabbit-proof fence is cut for purposes of passage, he shall, at the point where it is cut, forthwith erect a sufficient rabbit-proof gate; and each lessee shall have the right to erect not more than one rabbit-proof gate in the fence adjoining his run, and shall have free rights of access to and through such gate, and through the land between the fence and the river.

3. He shall at all times maintain in good repair and condition as a sufficient rabbit-proof gate every gate now existing or at any time hereafter erected in any such rabbit-proof fence, and keep every such gate constantly closed except whilst it is being actually used for purposes of passage.

4. In the event of it being found necessary to remove the whole or any portion of the fence further southward on to sound ground, the lessee shall undertake the removal and re-erection of the fence to the satisfaction of the Commissioner, and thereafter maintain the same as before specified.

5. In the event of the lessee failing to maintain, remove, re-erect, or do any other necessary work to the fence when called upon to do so, it shall be lawful for the Commissioner, or any other person authorised by him, to enter upon the land, and do such necessary work at the lessee’s cost.
