TAURANGA HARBOUR.—LIGHTED BEACON TRANSFERRED.

Marine Department,
Wellington, N.Z., 30th May, 1922.

THE Tauranga Harbour Board notifies that the undermentioned alteration of aids to navigation in the upper harbour will be made on the dates specified hereunder:—

(1.) Lighted Beacon installed.—On and after 1st June, 1922, an unwatched (U) Aga white light, flashing every 2 seconds (½ second light, 1½ seconds eclipse), height 11 ft., visible all round the horizon for a distance of five miles, will be shown from a single-pile beacon, which has been installed at a position formerly marked by a red buoy on the western side of the new channel to the eastward of Sulphur Point Spit. The beacon is to the westward of black buoy No. 2, Sulphur Point Spit beacon 309° 1,500 ft.

The distance between the lighted beacon and black buoy No. 2 is 200 ft., the least depth of water on this line being 12 ft. at M.L.W.S.

(2.) Lighted Beacon discontinued.—On and after 1st June, 1922, the flashing light on Sulphur Point Spit concrete beacon, situated 035° 600 ft. from Sulphur Point, will be discontinued. The existing concrete beacon, the upper portion of which is of a circular shape and the top of which is 6 ft. above M.H.W.S. will not be removed.

Vessels desiring to proceed to Tauranga wharves from the lower harbour should, when passing the fairway buoy, steer to pass midway between the new single-pile lighted beacon and the black buoy No. 2; after which a course may be shaped to pass about 50 yards off the black buoys on the eastern side of the channel until abreast of Mission Point, when a course may be steered for a short berth off the town wharf.

AUCKLAND HARBOUR.—PROTECTED AREA FOR YACHTS.

Marine Department,
Wellington, N.Z., 30th May, 1922.

THE Auckland Harbour Board notifies that the original boundary-line of Area No. 1, Judge’s and Mechanics’ Bays, which was necessarily departed from owing to dredging operations in that locality has now been restored as follows:—

Area No. 1, Protected for Yachts, Judge’s and Mechanics’ Bays: Commencing from the inner end of the western side of Parnell Wharf, thence by a line 018° for a distance of 2·3 cables, which point will be indicated by a small black buoy, thence 104° to the black buoy off Resolution Point, thence 208° for a distance of 2·2 cables to Resolution*Point.

This notice cancels Notice to Mariners No. 64 of 1921. By the foregoing it will be seen that the former boundary-lines, as laid down in Notice to Mariners No. 65 of 1919, have now been reverted to.

Charts, &c., affected.—Admiralty Chart No. 1970; “New Zealand Pilot,” ninth edition, 1919, page 194; “New Zealand Nautical Almanac,” 1922, page 197.
