ORDER IN COUNCIL.

At the Government House at Wellington, this 19th day of September, 1921.

Present:

His Excellency the Governor-General 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”), John Edgar and John McBride (hereinafter called “the licensees”) have applied to the Governor-General in Council for a license under the said Act to use and occupy parts of the foreshore and land below low-water mark near the Kawarau Rapids, Lake Wakatipu, in order to erect and maintain jetties thereon; and, in accordance with the one-hundred-and-fiftieth section of the said Act, have deposited a plan in the office of the Marine Department at Wellington (marked M.D. 5336), showing the area of foreshore and land below low-water mark intended to be occupied, and the manner in which it is proposed to erect the jetties:

And whereas it has been made to appear to the Governor-General in Council that the proposed works 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-General in Council:

And whereas it is expedient that a license should be granted and issued to the licensees under the said Act, for the purpose aforesaid, on the terms and conditions hereinafter expressed:

Now, therefore, His Excellency the Governor-General 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 land below low-water mark adjacent thereto, necessary for the maintenance of the said jetties, such license to be held and enjoyed by the licensees 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 that part of the foreshore and land below low-water mark occupied by the said jetties, as shown on plan marked M.D. 5336.

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, dating from the date hereof, the first of such annual payments to be made on the licensees being supplied with a copy of this Order in Council.

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

5. His Majesty or the Governor-General, 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 jetties without payment.

6. The licensees shall maintain the above-mentioned jetties in good order and repair, and, on being required to do so by the Minister, shall 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 jetties and view the state of repair thereof; and upon such Minister leaving at or posting to the last known address of the licensees in New Zealand a notice in writing of any defect or want of repair in such jetties, requiring them, within a reasonable time, to be therein prescribed, to repair the same, they shall with all convenient speed cause such defect to be removed or such repairs to be made.

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 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.

9. The rights, powers, and privileges conferred by or under this Order in Council shall continue to be in force for fourteen years from the date hereof, 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 previous written consent of the Minister first obtained.

11. The said rights, powers, and privileges may be at any time resumed by the Governor-General, without payment of any compensation whatever, on giving to the licensees 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 licensees in New Zealand.

12. The licensees shall be liable for any injury which the said jetties may cause any vessel or boat to sustain through any default or neglect on their part.

13. In case the licensees shall—

    then and in either of the said cases this Order in Council, and every license, right, power, or privilege, may be revoked and determined by the Governor-General without any notice to the licensees or other proceedings whatsoever; and publication in the New Zealand Gazette of an Order in Council containing such revocation shall be sufficient notice to the licensees, 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.

14. The erection of the said jetties shall be sufficient evidence of the acceptance by the licensees of the terms and conditions of this Order in Council.
