ORDER IN COUNCIL.

At the Government Buildings, at Wellington, this twenty-seventh day of April, 1910.

Present:

THE RIGHT HONOURABLE SIR J. G. WARD, K.C.M.G.,
PRESIDING IN COUNCIL.

WHEREAS, there being no Harbour Board empowered to grant the license hereinafter mentioned under the Harbours Act, 1908 (hereinafter called “the said Act”), the Invercargill Shipping Company (Limited), of Dunedin (hereinafter called “the company”), 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 adjacent thereto in the Murray River, Stewart Island, in order to erect and maintain thereon a wharf; and, in accordance with the one-hundred-and-fiftieth section of the said Act, has deposited plans in the office of the Marine Department, at Wellington, marked M.D. 3493 (two sheets), showing the manner in which it is proposed to construct such wharf, the place 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, prior to the making of this Order in Council, been approved by the Governor in Council without modification or addition: And whereas it is expedient that a license under the said Act, for the purposes aforesaid, should be granted and issued to the company on the terms and conditions hereinafter expressed:

Now, therefore, His Excellency the Governor of the Dominion 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 Dominion, doth hereby approve of the purpose or object for which the said license is required by the company 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 company 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 sheet 2 of the plans so deposited as aforesaid, for the purpose of constructing such wharf, such license to be held and enjoyed by the company upon and subject to the following terms and conditions, that is to say:—

1. The concessions and privileges conferred by this Order in Council shall extend and apply only to the part of the foreshore and land below low-water mark necessary for the erection of the wharf, as shown on sheet 2 of the plans marked M.D. 3493.

2. In consideration of the concessions and privileges granted by this Order in Council, the company shall, on being supplied with a copy thereof, pay to the Minister the sum of two pounds ten shillings, and thereafter an annual sum of one pound in advance, dating from the date hereof, the first of such annual payments to be made on the company being supplied with a copy of this Order in Council.

3. All persons shall at all reasonable times, upon payment of the proper dues, have free and full liberty to use the said wharf, and all rights of ingress and egress thereon and therefrom.

4. 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 said wharf without payment.

5. The company shall maintain the above-mentioned wharf 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.

6. Any person authorised by the Minister may at all reasonable times enter upon the said wharf and view the state of repair thereof, and upon such Minister leaving at or posting to the last known address of the company in New Zealand a notice in writing of any defect or want of repair in such wharf, requiring the company 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.

7. Nothing herein contained shall authorise the company to do or cause to be done anything repugnant to or inconsistent with any law relating to the Customs, or any regulation of the Minister of Customs, or with any provisions of the Harbours Act, 1908, or its amendments, or any regulations made thereunder, and that are now or may hereafter be in force.

8. The ballast of all vessels loading at the said wharf shall be taken away by the company and deposited above high-water mark, or at such place as may be approved of by the Minister, or by any person appointed by the Minister for that purpose.

9. The rights, powers, and privileges conferred by or under this Order in Council shall continue to be in force for fourteen years, computed from the date hereof, unless in the meantime such rights, powers, and privileges shall be altered, modified, or revoked by competent authority; and the company 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 company 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 company in New Zealand.

11. The company shall be liable for any injury which the said wharf may cause any vessel or boat to sustain through any default or neglect on the company’s part.

12. In case the company shall—
    (1.) Commit or suffer a breach of the conditions hereinafter set forth, or any of them;
    (2.) Cease to use or occupy the said wharf for a period of thirty days;
    (3.) Be in any manner wound up or dissolved; or
    (4.) Fail to pay the sums specified in clause two of these conditions—
    then and in any of the said cases this Order in Council, and every license, right, power, or privilege, may be revoked and determined by the Governor in Council without any notice to the company or other proceeding whatsoever; and publication in the New Zealand Gazette of an Order in Council containing such revocation shall be sufficient notice to the company and to all persons concerned or interested, that this Order in Council, and the license, rights, and privileges thereby granted and conferred, have been revoked and determined.

13. The erection of the wharf shall be sufficient evidence of the acceptance by the company of the terms and conditions of this Order in Council.

14. In these conditions the term “Minister” means the Minister of Marine, as defined by the Shipping and Seamen Act, 1908, and includes any officer, person, or authority acting by or under the direction of such Minister.
