MATAURA ISLAND BACKWATER RATING DISTRICT—NOTICE OF COMPLETION OF CLASSIFICATION LIST

Classification Under Soil Conservation and Rivers Control Act 1941 of Land in the Southland Catchment District

NOTICE is hereby given that: (a) The land in the part of the Southland Catchment District described in the Schedule hereto has been classified under the Soil Conservation and Rivers Control Act 1941, and the classification is deemed a valid classification as from the date on which this notice is first published, namely, the 1st day of April 1960.

Class A

Non rateable.

(c) The classification list includes an apportionment by the Valuer-General of the rateable value of the land in those cases where portions of a piece of land are classified in different classes.

(d) The classification list may be inspected at the Board's Offices, 143 Spey Street, Invercargill, during a period of 28 days hereafter.

(e) The classification list is deemed to be a special roll of ratepayers for the purposes of the Local Authorities Loans Act 1956.

(f) Any person who is dissatisfied in respect of any matter appearing in the classification list has the rights of appeal provided for by section 103 of the Soil Conservation and Rivers Control Act 1941, as substituted by section 18 of the Soil Conservation and Rivers Control Amendment Act 1959, which rights, and any other right to commence proceedings affecting the classification, must be exercised within 49 days hereafter. The grounds upon which an appeal may be lodged are:

(i) That the classification does not fairly classify the land of the appellant:

(ii) That any land liable to be classified is omitted from the classification or is not fairly classified:

(iii) That any land is improperly included within or excluded from the area to which the classification relates:

(iv) That the proportions in which the rates are proposed to be imposed on the several classes do not fairly represent the varying degrees of benefit to the land in the several classes, or that the proportion of the rate imposed on any particular class or classes is too great or too small:

(v) That the rateable value of any piece of land is not fairly apportioned between the portions thereof which are classified in different classes:

(vi) That any information in the classification list has been incorrectly transcribed from the valuation roll:

(vii) That the Board or the classifier has not complied with the requirements of this Act for the making of a valid classification.

Appeals will normally be made to a Magistrate's Court, but appeals in respect of the method of making or of the form or validity of the classification as a whole may be made to the Land Valuation Court only. One copy of any such appeal must, within the same period, be lodged at the office of the Board and another copy at the office of the Valuer-General, care of the Valuation Department at Invercargill.

(g) The classification has been made by Thomas Patrick Clearwater.

(h) Copies of instructions given by the Board to the classifier and of the resolutions of the Board relative to the classification may be inspected at the place and during the period specified in paragraph (d) of this notice.
