Board is desirous of executing or constructing upon lands
vested in such Board or upon lands of the Crown any
harbour-works of such a nature that the same could, but for
this section, only be carried out and executed under the
authority of a special Act, the Board may apply to the
Governor-General in Council for a special order, and, if the
Governor-General in Council thinks fit, such order may be
made and granted:

And whereas the Whangarei Harbour Board (hereinafter
called “the Board”) is desirous of reclaiming from the sea
certain land in Whangarei Harbour, and the said harbour-
works are of such a nature as aforesaid, and the Board has
applied to the Governor-General in Council for a special
order authorizing the execution of the said harbour-works:

And whereas the conditions precedent to the granting of a
special order prescribed by the said Act have been duly
performed and observed, and it appears expedient that such
order should be made:

And whereas it has been made to appear to the Governor-
General in Council that the proposed work will not be or
tend to the injury of navigation:

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
acting by and with the advice and consent of the Executive
Council of the said Dominion, doth hereby authorize and
