ORDER

1. This order shall come into force on 1 August 1974.

2. The boundaries of the districts of the County of
   Waitemata and the City of Takapuna shall be altered by the

   within the City of Takapuna (hereinafter referred to as the
   “said City”) of the areas described in the First and Second
   Schedules hereto.

3. The council of the said City may, subject to the pro-
   visions of the New Zealand Geographic Board Act 1946,
   adopt such name as may be deemed most appropriate for
   the said city.

4. For the purpose of representation and finance, the
   district of the said City shall, for a period of ten years, be
   divided into three wards as follows:

(a) The Takapuna Ward being the area of the City of

   under the provisions of section 23 of that Act.

6. For the period prescribed in clause 4 hereof the levies
   charged and assessed by the Auckland Regional Authority,
   the North Shore Drainage Board, and the North Shore Fire
   Board shall be apportioned by the council of the said city
   to the foregoing wards, as nearly as practicable, in accord-
   ance with the statutory formulae provided by the legislation

   Corporations Act 1954, beyond the period hereinbefore
   prescribed.

8. Subject to the provisions of the Rating Act 1967, the

9. Until such time as a revised valuation of the said City
   shall come into effect the provisions of the Rating Act 1967,
   where applicable and with the necessary modifications, shall
   apply to the said City as if for the purposes of Part IX of
   that Act the said City were a “Special Purpose Authority”
   and as if each ward division were a “Constituent District”
   within the provisions of that Act.

10. The council of the said City may, if it so resolves, for a
    period not exceeding ten years apply, with the necessary
    modifications, the provisions of sections 111A to 1110 of the
