And whereas it has been made to appear to the Governor-General in Council that the work 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 desirable 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 conferred upon 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 which is particularly shown and delineated on the plan M.D. 2910 so deposited as aforesaid, for the purpose of maintaining thereon a wharf erected in accordance with the said plan, such license to be held and enjoyed by the licensees upon and subject to the terms and conditions set forth in the Schedule hereto.

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 £2, in advance, payable on the 1st day of April each year, the first such payment to be made on the licensees being supplied with a copy of this Order in Council.

11. The said rights, powers, and privileges may be at any time resumed by the Governor-General, and the licensees may be required to move the wharf at the licensees' cost, without payment of any compensation whatever, on giving to the licensees three calendar months' previous notice in writing.
