Southland Flood Relief Committee Empowering Act 1990

Notice of Intention to Apply for Leave to Introduce a Private Bill

Take notice that the Southland Flood Relief Committee intends to apply for leave to introduce a private bill to be known as “The Southland Flood Relief Committee Empowering Act 1990”.

Objects of the Bill are to discharge the Committee from their administration of certain monies held in trust for the charitable purpose of providing relief or assistance to persons suffering financial hardship by loss or damage from floods which occurred in Southland in January of 1984, and to appoint Trustees to administer the unexpended balance of the Fund for the relief of those persons and in particular for those who suffer subsequent financial hardship by loss or damage by recurring flooding.

Upon the grounds that extensive flooding occurred in Southland in January of 1984, the Government appointed a Committee to administer funds provided for the relief of persons suffering financial hardship by loss or damage as a result of that flooding. That Committee comprised the then Chairman of the Southland County as its Chairperson, the then Chairman of the Wallace County, the Mayor of the City of Invercargill and the City Manager of the City of Invercargill acted as Secretary to the Committee. Subscriptions to that Fund were made by organisations and individuals throughout New Zealand. A portion of the Fund was subsidised by the Government. Payments have from time to time been made from that Fund for the relief of persons suffering financial hardship by loss or damage as a result of that flooding. The accounts for the Fund have now been audited by the Controller and Auditor-General. There is an unexpended balance remaining in the Fund. Properties in Southland, the City of Invercargill and in townships and rural parts of the District of Southland suffered severe flood damage in January 1984 and subsequently those persons whose property has been subjected to recurring floods have suffered additional hardship and it is inequitable that the Committee should seek to isolate disbursement meriting payment from the Fund only to that relating to the January 1984 floods. There are no remaining claims from the 1984 floods to be met and the Committee seeks to disburse the balance of the funds for the relief of persons who have suffered recurrence of flooding subsequent to January 1984. It is desired for the purpose to release the Committee from administration of the remainder of the Fund and to vest its administration in the persons from time to time holding office as the Mayor of the Invercargill City and respectively the Mayors of the Southland District and the Gore District, as if the funds were held in a charitable trust pursuant to the Charitable Trust Act 1957.

Inspection of the Bill may be at the office of the District Court at Invercargill during normal office hours, without fee.

Dated at Invercargill this 2nd day of November 1990.

Southland Flood Relief Committee by its solicitors and duly authorised agents Messrs Preston Russell, per:

R. H. IBBOTSON.
