BERNARD FERGUSSON, Governor-General

ORDER IN COUNCIL

To all unto whom these presents shall come, and to:

EDGAR RAVENSWOOD MCKILLOP, Esquire, C.M.G., O.B.E., M.INST.C.E., M.N.Z.I.E., of Wellington, Civil Engineer;

HUGH DRUMMOND LAMBIE, Esquire, O.B.E., of Auckland, Farmer.

GREETING:

WHEREAS the basic engineering and hydraulic principles of the Lower Waikato River Control Scheme (Sections B, C, and D) have been approved by the Minister of Works and whereas it is desired to obtain an equitable allocation of cost of construction and maintenance as between the Crown and the Waikato Valley Authority (as representing all constituent councils included in the scheme and the Taupiri Drainage and River Board) and whereas it is also desirable to determine the maximum rating consistent with reasonable economic development of all properties protected or otherwise affected by the scheme and to define any progressive increasing in rating deemed necessary:

Now, therefore, I, Brigadier Sir Bernard Edward Fergusson, the Governor-General of New Zealand, acting by and with the advice and consent of the Executive Council, hereby revoke the Order in Council dated the 18th day of March 1963 appointing a Commission to inquire into the financing of portion of the Lower Waikato and Waipa Rivers Control Scheme as prepared by the Waikato Valley Authority, and, pursuant to the Commissions of Inquiry Act 1908 and the Waikato Valley Authority Act 1956, hereby appoint you, the said Frank Felix Reid, Edgar Ravenswood McKillop, and Hugh Drummond Lambie to be a Commission to inquire into and report on the following matters:

(1) The rating capacity of the land and the ability of ratepayers to pay during the initial stages of the construction programme and subsequently as development progresses.

(2) What Government works existing and contemplated in the Waikato Valley affect the hydraulic conditions of the catchment and the general regimen of the rivers in the valley.

(3) Any other natural or development factors which have a significant effect on the hydraulic conditions of the Waikato Valley Catchment and the regimen of the rivers.

(4) Levels of progressive maximum rating, having regard to the foreseeable reasonable economic development potential of properties affected and to a loan period of 25 years or such other period as may be considered necessary or desirable.

(5) The allocation as between the Crown and the Waikato Valley Authority of the cost of construction and maintenance of the said sections of the scheme, having regard to the matters set out in the preceding clauses.

(6) The allocation between Departments of State of the Crown’s portion of the cost of construction and maintenance of the said sections of the scheme.

(7) The allocation of the Waikato Valley Authority’s share of the cost as between the constituent local councils and the Taupiri Drainage and River Board and in the case of any county where there are separate rating areas as between the particular separate rating areas comprised therein.

(8) The general and the main channel maintenance responsibilities under separate headings and the degree of Government financial assistance under each heading.

(9) Whether provision for deferment of rates is necessary and, if so, the method of implementation.

(10) Any other matters deemed relevant to the inquiry.

And with the like advice and consent I do further appoint you, the said Frank Felix Reid, to be Chairman of the said Commission:

And for the better enabling of you to carry these presents into effect you are hereby authorised and empowered to make and conduct any inquiry under these presents at such times and places as you deem expedient, with power to adjourn from time to time and place as you think fit, and so that these presents shall continue in force and the inquiry may at any time and place be resumed although not regularly adjourned from time to time or from place to place:

And you are hereby strictly charged and directed that you shall not at any time publish or otherwise disclose, save to me in pursuance of these presents or by my direction, the contents or purport of any report so made or to be made by you, or any evidence or information obtained by you in the exercise of the powers hereby conferred upon you except such evidence or information as is received in the course of a sitting open to the public:

And it is hereby declared that the powers hereby conferred shall be exercisable notwithstanding the absence at any time of any one of the members hereby appointed;
