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 land below low-water mark which are particularly shown and delineated on the plans marked M.D. 4217 so deposited as aforesaid, for the purpose of maintaining thereon a wharf; such license to be held and enjoyed by the company upon and subject to the terms and conditions set forth in the Schedule hereto.
