WHEREAS there being no Harbour Board empowered to grant the license hereinafter mentioned under the Harbours Act, 1923 (hereinafter called “the said Act”), the Zealandia Packing Company, Limited (hereinafter called “the company” in which term is to be construed, unless the context requires a different construction, its successors or assigns), has applied to the Governor-General in Council for a license under the said Act to occupy a part of the foreshore and land below low-water mark at Okura Point, Whangaroa Harbour, as a site for a wharf erected in accordance with plan marked M.D. 7199, deposited in the office of the Marine Department at Wellington, and showing the area of foreshore intended to be occupied:

And whereas it has been made to appear that the said wharf will not be or tend to the injury of navigation; and it is expedient that a license should be granted to the company under the said Act for the purpose aforesaid:

Now, therefore, His Excellency the Governor-General of the Dominion of New Zealand, in pursuance and exercise of the power and authority vested in 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 company 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 company to use and occupy that part of the foreshore and land below low-water mark immediately contiguous thereto, which is particularly shown and delineated on the plans so deposited as aforesaid, for the purpose of using the wharf aforesaid in connection therewith, such license to be held and enjoyed by the company 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 company shall pay to the Minister the sum of £2 10s., and thereafter an annual sum of £5 in advance, payable on the 1st day of April in each year, the proportionate part of such rental in respect of the period from the date hereof until the 31st March following to be paid on the company being supplied with a copy of this Order in Council.

7. Any person authorized by the Minister may, at all reasonable times, enter upon the said wharf and view the state of repair thereof; and upon such Minister leaving at or posting to the last-known registered office of the company in New Zealand a notice in writing of any defect or want of repair in such wharf, requiring the company within a reasonable time, to be therein prescribed, to repair the same, the company shall, with all reasonable speed, cause such defect to be removed or such repairs to be made.

8. Nothing herein contained shall authorize the company 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 made thereunder, and that are now or may hereafter be in force.

11. The said rights, powers, and privileges may be at any time resumed by the Governor-General, and the company may be required to remove the wharf at the company’s own cost, without payment of any compensation whatever, on giving to the company 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 registered office of the company in New Zealand.

then, and in any of the said cases, this Order in Council and every license, right, power, or privilege thereby conferred may be revoked and determined by the Governor-General in Council without any notice to the company or other proceedings whatsoever; and publication in the Gazette of an Order in Council containing such revocation shall be sufficient notice to the company, 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.

14. 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 company 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 company fails so to do, the Minister may cause the said wharf to be removed and the site so restored, and may recover from the company the costs incurred by the said removal and restoration.

15. The occupation of the said wharf shall be sufficient evidence of the acceptance by the company of the terms and conditions of this Order in Council.
