FIRST SCHEDULE.

CONDITIONS OF MANAGEMENT.

  1. In these conditions the term—
    “Foreshore,” means such parts of the bed, shore, or banks
    of a tidal water as are covered and uncovered by the
    flow and ebb of the tide at ordinary spring tides :
    “Low-water mark” means low-water mark at ordinary
    spring tides :
    “Minister” means the Minister of Marine as defined by
    the Shipping and Seamen Act, 1908, and includes any
    officer, person, or authority acting by or under the
    directions of such Minister.

  2. The concessions and privileges conferred by this Order
    in Council shall extend and apply only to the part of the
    foreshore, and land below low-water mark adjacent thereto,
    necessary for the erection of the wharf, at the site shown
    on the plans marked M.D. 862, 1811, 1812, and 4078.

  3. All persons shall at all reasonable times and upon
    payment of the proper dues, have free and full liberty to use
    the said wharf, and all rights of ingress and egress thereto
    and therefrom.

  4. His Majesty or the Governor-General, and all officers
    in the Government service acting in the execution of their
    duty, shall at all times have free ingress, passage, and egress
    into, over, and out of the said wharf without payment.

  5. The Council shall maintain and keep the above-mentioned
    wharf and all erections on or in connection therewith in good
    order and repair; and shall at all times exhibit therefrom,
    and maintain at the Council’s own cost, suitable and necessary
    lights for the guidance of vessels: Provided that no new
    light shall be exhibited until after it has been approved by
    the Minister.

  6. All dues and rates received on account of the said wharf
    by the Council shall be applied to keeping the said wharf
    and all erections on or in connection therewith in good order
    and repair.

  7. Any person authorized by the Minister may at all
    reasonable times enter upon the said wharf and any buildings
    erected on the wharf or in connection therewith, 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 wharf or buildings, 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.

  8. The master of all vessels discharging ballast at the said
    wharf shall have all such ballast taken away and deposited
    above high-water mark, or at such place as may be approved
    by the Minister, or by any persons appointed by the Minister
    for that purpose.

  9. The Council shall not erect, or suffer to be erected, on
    the said wharf any buildings or structure whatever, except
    with the consent of the Minister.

  10. The Council shall keep a separate account of the
    receipts and expenditure on account of such wharf and
    premises, and shall cause such account to be balanced to the
    thirty-first day of March in every year, and shall send a copy
    of such account when balanced to the Minister, and shall
    supply any particulars in reference thereto as may be required
    by the Minister.

  11. The Council shall appoint all officers necessary for the
    working and management of the wharf.

  12. 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 regulation thereunder,
    and that are now or may hereafter be in force.

  13. The rights, powers, and privileges hereby conferred
    shall continue in force for fourteen years, computed from the
    fifteenth day of March, one thousand nine hundred and
    thirty-three, 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 com-
    pensation 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 wharf to any vessel or boat through
    any default or neglect on the part of the Council.

  16. In case the Council shall—
    (1) Commit or suffer a breach of the conditions hereinbefore
    set forth, or any of them; or
    (2) Cease to use or occupy the said wharf 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 proceeding whatsoever; and
    the publication in the 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 license, 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 wharf entirely from
    the site, and restore the site to its original condition within
    three months from the date of revocation or expiry, as the
    case may be; and, if the Council fails so to do, the Minister
    may cause the said wharf to be removed and the site so restored,
    and may recover the costs incurred by the said removal and
    restoration from the Council.
