SECOND SCHEDULE.
BOUNDARIES OF GROUPS.

EACH group shall include all cities, boroughs, and town districts which are included within the exterior boundaries of any county comprised in that group.
Each group shall include all cities, boroughs, and town districts which are contiguous to the exterior boundary of any county comprised in that group, or which are contiguous to any other city, borough, or town district comprised in that group.
If any city, borough, or town district is so situated that the application of the foregoing provisions would place it in two or more groups, such city, borough, or town district shall form part of such one of those groups as bears the lowest distinguishing number in the First Schedule hereto.
For the purposes of the foregoing provisions a city, borough, or town district shall be deemed to be contiguous to the boundary of a county or of another city, borough, or town district, notwithstanding the fact that it is separated therefrom by a river, stream, or highway.
Except so far as otherwise provided in the First Schedule hereto every island not comprised in any county but adjacent to the coasts of New Zealand and within ten miles thereof, or lying within any gulf, bay, harbour, or other territorial waters of New Zealand, shall form part of the nearest group on the mainland.
All references in the foregoing provisions and in the First Schedule hereto to counties, cities, boroughs, and town districts are references to such areas as existing at the date of these regulations, and the boundaries of the military districts and groups as hereby established shall not be altered or affected by any alteration which may hereafter take place in the existence or boundaries of any counties, cities, boroughs, or town districts.
Any part of New Zealand which is not included in any group in accordance with the foregoing provisions of this and the last preceding Schedule shall form part of No. 1 (Auckland) Group as described in the First Schedule hereto.
In this Schedule the term “town district” means a town district not forming part of a county.

1840–1925 (Public Domain): Issues of the New Zealand Gazette and Provincial Gazettes from this period are in the public domain, as the term of Crown copyright (100 years) has expired. Mechanical reproductions (e.g., scanned PDFs) of these public domain documents do not attract new copyright.
1926–1999 (Crown Copyright): Issues from this period remain subject to Crown copyright. Usage of these issues in this project is "Fair Dealing" for research purposes and consistent with the spirit of the open-access principles championed by NZGOAL, ie, "The default licensing position under ...
