HUTS

3. (a) Any person desiring the use of any huts or other buildings the property of the Board erected in the park shall apply to the Secretary or a Park Warden or to an authorized person, who may in his discretion grant to such applicant usage of the hut or building as he shall deem advisable, either exclusively or together with any other person or persons.

(b) The restrictions on and conditions of usage of any such huts or buildings shall be as fixed by the Board by resolution from time to time.

(c) A Park Warden, or Ranger, or other officer of the Board is empowered to terminate any usage of any such hut or building where the user has departed from the terms and conditions upon which usage was granted or where the user acts in such a manner as in the opinion of the Park Warden, or Ranger, or other officer of the Board is likely to cause damage to the Board’s property or to give offence to other persons, or to cause them annoyance.

(d) No person shall use, or attempt to use, any such hut or building without the permission of the Secretary, or a Park Warden, or of an authorized person.

(e) Should any organization be empowered to erect any buildings for accommodation of its members within the park it shall be subject to the condition that if such accommodation is not in the opinion of the Board being made reasonable use of by such members, then other persons may be authorized by the Board to make use of such accommodation under whatever conditions the Board may determine.

Should camps or picnic places be located in a locality where no such open place exists, or is provided, any dead wood, moss, dry leaves, grass, tussock, forest mould, or other vegetation must be scraped away down to the rock or earth over an area considerably larger than that required for the fire. Fires shall be lighted only when necessary, and when no longer needed shall be completely extinguished by covering all embers and the bed with earth and water so that there remains no possibility of the fire reviving.

No person shall light a fire in any position where it is likely to present a fire hazard.

Once a fire is lit, the person lighting the fire, or such other person as is detailed by him, shall remain in attendance on the fire until it is completely extinguished.
