13. The rights, powers, and privileges hereby conferred shall
    continue in force for fourteen years, computed from the date
    hereof, unless in the meantime such rights, powers, and
    privileges shall be altered, modified, or revoked by competent
    authority; and the Council shall not assign, charge, or part
    with any such right, power, or privilege without the previous
    written consent of the Minister first obtained.

14. The rights, powers, and privileges conferred under or
    by virtue of this Order in Council may be at any time resumed
    by the Governor-General without payment of any compensation
    whatever on giving to the Council 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 Council in New Zealand.

15. The Council shall be liable for any injury which may be
    caused at the said structures to any vessel or boat through
    any default or neglect on the part of the Council.

16. In case the Council shall—

    set forth, or any of them; or
    (2) Cease to use or occupy the said structures for a period
    of thirty consecutive days;
    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 in Council without
    any notice to the Council 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 Council and to all persons concerned or interested, that
    this Order in Council, and the licenses, rights, and privileges
    thereby granted and conferred, have been revoked and determined.

17. In the event of this Order in Council being revoked for
    any reason whatsoever, or upon the expiry of the period for
    which the license is granted, the Council shall, if required by
    the Minister so to do, remove the said structures entirely from
    the sites and restore the sites to their original condition within
    three months from the date of the revocation or expiry, as
    the case may be; and if the Council fails so to do, the Minister
    may cause the said structures to be removed and the sites so
    restored, and may recover the costs incurred by the said
    removal and restoration from the Council.
