25 NOVEMBER NEW ZEALAND GAZETTE 4237

Suspension or abandonment of racing operations

The Auckland Regional Council may order the suspension or abandonment of racing operations if, in the opinion of the Council’s Harbourmaster, adequate levels of public safety afloat cannot be guaranteed. Such powers would be exercised in conjunction with the New Zealand Police and in consultation with the event organisers, the New Zealand Offshore Powerboat Association Inc and Ports of Auckland Limited.

Alteration or variation of proposed conditions and requirements

The Auckland Regional Council may vary conditions and requirements contained in the notice, and may specify conditions, to better safeguard the public within the areas defined in this notice.

Means of enforcement

Compliance with the above conditions and requirements will be enforced by appointed enforcement officers, as defined in section 200B (6) of the Maritime Transport Act 1994.

Under section 200B (5) of the Maritime Transport Act 1994, any person in charge of a ship, craft or seaplane who contravenes this notice commits an infringement offence and is liable to the relevant penalty prescribed in the Maritime Transport (Infringement Fees for Offences Relating to Major Maritime Events) Regulations 1999.

Management of commercial shipping

On race days, the management of commercial shipping in Waitemata Harbour will be coordinated and conducted jointly between the Auckland Regional Council Harbourmaster and the Marine Services Manager, Ports of Auckland Limited, in order to minimise any potential conflict between commercial shipping operations and operations surrounding the World Off-Shore Power Boat Championships.

Application to enforcement officers
