ORDER IN COUNCIL.

At the Government House, at Wellington, this eleventh day of June, 1906.

Present:

HIS EXCELLENCY THE GOVERNOR IN COUNCIL.

WHEREAS, there being no Harbour Board empowered to grant the license hereinafter mentioned under “The Harbours Act Amendment Act, 1883” (hereinafter called “the said Act”), the Waitaki County Council (hereinafter called “the Council”) has applied to the Governor in Council for a license under the said Act to occupy a part of the foreshore and the land below low-water mark immediately contiguous to such foreshore at Port Moeraki, in order to erect and maintain thereon a boat-slip; and, in accordance with the one-hundred and-fifty-sixth section of “The Harbours Act, 1878,” deposited a plan in the office of the Marine Department at Wellington (marked M.D. 2962) showing the manner in which it is proposed to construct such boat-slip, the place in the said port where it is intended to erect the same, and the area of foreshore and land below low-water mark intended to be occupied for such purpose: And whereas it has been made to appear to the Governor in Council that the proposed work will not be or tend to the injury of navigation, and the said plan has been approved by the Governor in Council: And whereas it is expedient to grant a license for the term and subject to the conditions hereinafter expressed:

Now, therefore, His Excellency the Governor of the Colony of New Zealand, in pursuance and exercise of the power and authority vested in him by the said Act, and of all other powers and authorities enabling him in that behalf, and by and with the advice and consent of the Executive Council of the said colony, doth hereby approve of the purpose or object for which the said license is required by the Council as aforesaid; and, in further pursuance and exercise of the said power and authority, and with the like advice and consent as aforesaid, doth hereby license and permit the Council to use and occupy that part of the foreshore and of the land below low-water mark immediately contiguous thereto which is particularly shown and delineated on the plan so deposited as aforesaid, for the purpose of erecting a boat-slip thereon, such license to be held and enjoyed by the Council upon and subject to the terms and conditions set forth in the Schedule hereto.

———

SCHEDULE.

1. THE concessions and privileges conferred by this Order in Council shall extend and apply only to the parts of the foreshore and of the land below low-water mark necessary for the erection of such boat-slip, which are shown on the plan marked M.D. 2962.

2. That all His Majesty’s subjects shall at all reasonable times, upon payment of the proper dues, have free and full liberty to use the boat-slip, and of ingress and egress thereon.

3. That His Majesty, or the Governor, and all officers in the Government service acting in the execution of their duty, shall at all times have free ingress, passage, and egress into, through, and out of the boat-slip without payment.

4. The Council shall maintain the above-mentioned boat-slip and all erections thereon in good order and repair; and shall at all times exhibit therefrom, and maintain at its own cost, suitable and necessary lights for the guidance of vessels: Provided that no light shall be exhibited until after it has been approved of by the Minister.

5. The Council shall keep a separate account of the receipts and expenditure on account of such boat-slip, and shall cause such account to be balanced to the 31st day of March in each year, and shall send a copy of such account, when balanced, to the Marine Department, and shall supply any particulars in reference thereto which may be required by the Marine Department.

6. The surplus revenue derived from the receipts on account of such boat-slip shall be applied for the purposes of maintaining, repairing, and otherwise keeping in good order and condition the said boat-slip or for providing further accommodation of a like nature.

7. Any person authorised by the Minister may, at all reasonable times, enter upon the said boat-slip and view the state of repairs thereof; and upon such Minister leaving at or posting to the last known address of the Council a notice in writing of any defect or want of repair in such boat-slip, requiring the Council, within a reasonable time, to be therein prescribed, to repair the same, it shall with all convenient speed cause such defect to be removed or such repairs to be made.

8. That nothing herein contained shall authorise the Council to do or cause to be done anything repugnant to or inconsistent with any law relating to the Customs, or any regulation of the Commissioner of Trade and Customs, or with any provisions of “The Harbours Act, 1878,” or its amendments, or any regulations made thereunder, and that are now or may hereafter be in force.

9. The rights, powers, and privileges conferred by this Order in Council shall continue in force for fourteen years, computed from the date of this Order in Council, unless in the meantime such rights, powers, and privileges shall be altered, modified, or revoked by competent authority; and the Council shall not assign, charge, or part with any such right, power, or privilege without the previous written consent of the Minister first obtained.

10. The said rights, powers, and privileges may be at any time resumed by the Governor, without payment of any compensation whatever, on giving to the Council three calendar months’ previous notice in writing. Any such notice shall be sufficient if given by the Minister, and delivered at or posted to the last known address of the Council.

11. The Council shall be liable for any injury which the said boat-slip may cause any vessel or boat to sustain through any fault or neglect on the part of the Council.

12. In case the Council—

(1.) Commits or suffers a breach of the conditions hereinbefore set forth, or any of them; or

(2.) Ceases to use or occupy the said boat-slip for a period of thirty days,

then and in any such case this Order in Council, and every license, right, power, or privilege thereby conferred, may be revoked and determined by the Governor in Council without any notice to the Council or other proceedings whatsoever; and publication in the New Zealand Gazette of an Order in Council containing such revocation shall be sufficient notice of the fact to the Council, and to all persons concerned or interested, that the rights and privileges thereby conferred have been revoked and determined.

13. In these conditions the term “Minister” means the Minister of Marine, as defined by “The Shipping and Seamen Act, 1903,” and includes any officer, person, or authority acting by or under the direction of such Minister.
