  6. Any person authorized by the Minister may at all reasonable times enter upon the said wharves and view the state of repair thereof, and upon the Minister leaving at or posting to the last known address of the Council in New Zealand a notice in writing of any defect or want of repair in such wharves requiring the Council within a reasonable time, to be therein prescribed, to make good or repair the same, the Council shall, with all convenient speed cause such defect to be removed or such repairs to be made.
  7. Nothing herein contained shall authorize the Council to do or cause to be done anything repugnant to or inconsistent with any law relating to the Customs, or any regulation of the Minister of Customs, or with any provisions of the Harbours Act, 1923, or its amendments, or any regulations thereunder, and that are now or may hereafter be in force.

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 any structure thereon entirely from the site, and restore the site to its 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 structure to be removed and the site so restored, and may recover the costs incurred by the said removal and restoration from the Council.
