Third Schedule hereto.

(7) No permit shall be transferable, and no person shall

(13) If the holder of any permit shall commit a breach of
or fail to comply with any of the provisions of this regulation,
then, without prejudice to the provisions of the two last
preceding clauses of this regulation, the Minister or his
appointee may, in his discretion, revoke such permit, and,
by writing under his hand, give notice of such revocation to
the holder, and such notice may be served either by delivering
the same to the holder personally or by forwarding the same
by registered post addressed to the holder at his usual or last

such notice the permit shall become void and of no effect.

(14) Every permit shall be deemed to operate as a license
to the permit-holder to erect and maintain, and, together
with not more than five persons in addition to the permit-
holder, to occupy a camp on any part of the camping-area,
for the term therein set out, subject to all the conditions and
restrictions contained in this regulation.

(15) Every permit shall also be deemed to operate as a
special license within the meaning of paragraph (b) of sub-
section (4) of the special Act, and to confer on the holder
thereof a full and free right of way (in common with all other
persons having the like right) between any site for the time
being occupied by the permit-holder and the shore of Lake
Taupo or the most convenient public road at all times, so
long as such permit is in force, along and over the land
referred to in the said paragraph (b) for himself, his family,
visitors, and servants, and all persons having business with
him at such site.

(16) Notwithstanding the rights conferred by any per-
mit, there shall be reserved a full and free right of way for
all persons at all lawful times to go, pass, and repass along
the bank or margin of any river or stream and to use the
same for a reasonably sufficient width from the water’s edge
for purposes of fishing and for purposes of access to any other
site, and no permit-holder shall erect or maintain or cause or
suffer to be erected or maintained anything that may in any
way obstruct or impede the use of such bank or margin for
such width and for such purposes as aforesaid.

(17) A permit-holder shall be entitled to erect, maintain,
and occupy, on any part of the camping-area, a camp com-
prising one or more tents or other structures of a temporary
nature and to remove the same at any time prior to the
expiration or sooner determination of the permit, doing as
little damage as possible to the ground thereby, and making
good before the expiration or sooner determination of the
permit any damage to the ground done thereby:

Provided that no permit-holder shall erect, maintain, or
occupy at any one time more than one camp, nor erect,
maintain, or occupy as a camp any part of the camping-area
situate within one chain of any camp already for the time
being erected and occupied in any part of the camping-area,
except with the consent of the permit-holder, or holder of a
permanent-camp license, in occupation of such last-mentioned
camp.

(18) No permit-holder shall—

(a) Use any site or cause or suffer the same to be used
for the purpose of any trade or business or for any
illegal or improper purpose or otherwise howsoever
than as a camping-site.

(b) Use any site or cause or suffer the same to be used
in any manner that shall or may be or become a
nuisance, damage, annoyance, or inconvenience to or
in any way interfere with the quiet and comfort of
the occupier of any other site, or the owners or
occupiers of any adjoining or neighbouring land.

(c) Destroy or damage or cause or suffer to be destroyed
or damaged any trees, growing timber, or bushes on
any site or any adjoining or neighbouring land:

Provided that, notwithstanding the foregoing
provisions, it shall be lawful for a permit-holder
(subject to the provisions of clause 19 hereof) to
cut down or lop trees, growing timber, or bushes,
on any part of the camping-area, either for the
purpose of making a suitable camp-site, or for reason-
able use as firewood, or tent-poles, or otherwise in
connection with his camp.

(d) Keep, or cause, or suffer to be kept, or to be upon or
about any site any dog or other animal without the
express written permission of a permit officer, which
permission may at any time be revoked.

(19) Notwithstanding the proviso to paragraph (c) of
the last preceding clause hereof, it shall not be lawful for a
permit-holder or any other person to cut down, lop, or other-
wise damage trees or growing timber on any part of the
camping-area, the trees and growing timber on which have,
by notice published in the Gazette, been declared by the Minister
to be preserved, and any person who cuts down, lops, or
otherwise damages any tree or growing timber so declared
to be preserved is guilty of an offence against these regula-
tions.

(20) Every permit-holder shall at all times during the
continuance of his permit—

(a) Provide and maintain sufficient sanitary accommodation
for any site for the time being occupied by him and
take all steps and do all things necessary or desirable
to prevent any river or stream or any water-supply
from being polluted through the use or occupation
of the site.

(b) Keep any site for the time being occupied by him and
all erections thereon in a clean, orderly, and tenant-
able condition.

(c) Use all reasonable precautions to prevent damage by
fire either to the camping-area, or to adjoining or
neighbouring land, or to anything growing or erected
thereon respectively.

(d) After he or any member of his family, or any visitor,
or servant, or any person occupying a camp with
him as provided by clause (15) of this regulation,
has opened or passed through any gate or opening
in a fence upon the camping-area, securely close and
fasten the same.

(21) Every permit-holder shall, prior to his leaving any
site, destroy or bury all refuse and articles and matter of any
kind not removed by him from the site, save that it shall
be lawful to leave erected thereon any tent-framework, whare,
fireplace, or similar structure, provided always that no right
to the ownership or possession of anything so left shall enure
to the permit-holder against the Crown or against any person
being at any time in lawful occupation of the said site.

(22) Every permit-holder shall, without affecting any
liability he may have incurred for a breach of these regu-
lations, be liable for any damage suffered by any person
through such breach, and for any damage done to the camping-
area, or to anything affixed thereon or growing thereon, by him
or any member of his family, or any visitor or servant or any
person occupying a camp with him as provided by clause
(15) of this regulation.
