Licensing Messrs. W. Brown and Sons to use and occupy a Part of the Foreshore and Land below Low-water Mark of Kaipara Harbour at Te Kopuru as a Site for a Wharf.

LIVERPOOL, Governor.
ORDER IN COUNCIL.

At the Government House at Wellington, this eighteenth day of October, 1915.

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, Messrs. William Brown and Raymond Brown, of Te Kopuru, trading under the style or title of W. Brown and Son (hereinafter called “the licensees”), did in the year 1901 apply 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, in order to erect and maintain thereon a wharf; and, in accordance with the one-hundred-and-fifty-sixth section of the Harbours Act, 1878, deposited plans in the office of the Marine Department at Wellington, marked M.D. 2416, showing the place where it was intended to erect such wharf, and the area of foreshore and land below low-water mark intended to be occupied for such purpose: And whereas, it having been made to appear to the Governor in Council that the proposed works would not be or tend to the injury of navigation, a license was duly issued to the licensees to occupy the said foreshore and land below low-water mark for a period of fourteen years from the ninth day of April, one thousand nine hundred and one: And whereas, the said license having expired, the licensees have, in pursuance of the provisions of the Harbours Act, 1908 (hereinafter called “the said Act”), applied for a renewal of the said license for a period of ten years from the date of expiry of the said license, and it is expedient to grant the same, under the said Act, 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 acting 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 licensees 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 licensees 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 plans so deposited as aforesaid, for the purpose of maintaining the said wharf thereon, such license to be held and enjoyed by the licensee upon and subject to the terms and conditions set forth in the Schedule hereto.

SCHEDULE.

1. 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.

2. 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 such wharf, which are shown on the plans marked M.D. 2416, and deposited in the office of the Marine Department as aforesaid.

3. In consideration of the concessions and privileges granted by this Order in Council, the licensees shall pay to the Minister the sum of £2 10s., and thereafter an annual sum of £1, in advance, payable on the 1st day of April, dating from the 1st day of April, 1915, the first of such annual payments to be made on the licensees being supplied with a copy of this Order in Council.

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, over, and out of the said wharf without payment.

5. All persons shall at all reasonable times, and 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.

6. The licensees shall maintain the above-mentioned wharf in good order and repair, and shall at all times exhibit therefrom, and maintain at their 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.

7. Any person authorized by the Minister may at all reasonable times enter upon the said wharf and view the state of repair thereof; and upon the Minister leaving at or posting to the last known address of the licensees a notice in writing of any defect or want of repair in such wharf, requiring them, within a reasonable time, to be therein prescribed, to make good the same, they shall with all convenient speed cause such defect to be removed or such repairs to be made, as the case may be.

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

9. The rights, powers, and privileges conferred by or under this Order in Council shall continue in force for ten years from the 9th day of April, 1915, unless in the meantime such rights, powers, and privileges shall be altered, modified, or revoked by competent authority; and the licensees shall not assign, charge, or part with any such right, power, or privilege without the written consent of the Minister first obtained.
