A PROCLAMATION.

WHEREAS by section three hundred and eighty-two of the Municipal Corporations Act, 1920, it is enacted that the Governor-General may make all such Proclamations and regulations as he thinks fit for the further or more effectually or particularly carrying out of the objects and purposes of the said Act :

And whereas it is expedient that special provision be made for controlling building operations in the boroughs specified in the First Schedule hereto :

Now, therefore, in pursuance and exercise of the powers conferred upon me by the said section three hundred and eighty-two, I, Charles, Baron Bledisloe, the Governor-General of the Dominion of New Zealand, do hereby proclaim that on and from the publication of this Proclamation in the Gazette the regulations set out in the Second Schedule hereto shall be in force in the respective boroughs specified in the said First Schedule hereto notwithstanding any by-law to the contrary heretofore in force.

FIRST SCHEDULE.

The Borough of Wairoa.

The Borough of Napier.

The Borough of Hastings.

SECOND SCHEDULE.

(1) PERMANENT ERECTIONS.

ALL applications for building permits in the meantime shall be approved by the local bodies concerned, in consultation with the technical advisers of the Public Works Department who have been charged with this duty. Examining officers will be guided in their decisions by the lessons learned from the recent earthquake and the accepted principles of design to resist earthquake shock. The guiding principles in the design of structures to resist earthquake shocks are being issued and must take precedence over existing by-laws.

(2) TEMPORARY ERECTIONS.

Permits may be granted for the erection and maintenance of temporary structures although they do not, in respect of materials, design, and construction, comply with existing by-law requirements, but no such permit shall authorize the maintenance of any such structure for a period exceeding twelve months from 28th February, 1931.

On the expiration of the period for which the maintenance of any temporary structure has been authorized, the owner shall be liable to demolish and remove the same at his own cost on being required by the local authority so to do.

Given under the hand of His Excellency the Governor-General of the Dominion of New Zealand, and issued under the Seal of that Dominion, this 4th day of March, 1931.
