An Act to vest certain Land in the Wellington Harbour Board and to authorise the Board to reclaim.

Preamble.

WHEREAS under the provisions of “The Wellington Harbour Board Reclamation and Empowering Act, 1903,” the Governor may by notice in the Gazette declare portions of the land authorised to be reclaimed by such Act to revest in His Majesty: And whereas the extent of such land to be resumed is found to be insufficient for the purposes of His Majesty, and it is expedient to give to the Governor the right to revest in His Majesty a larger area of land than was authorised by such Act, and to grant to the Board the right to reclaim further additional lands in lieu thereof:

Be it therefore enacted by the General Assembly of New Zealand in Parliament assembled, and by the authority of the same, as follows:—

1 Short Title.

The Short Title of this Act is “The Wellington Harbour Board Reclamation and Empowering Act 1903 Amendment Act, 1906.”

2 Interpretation.

In the construction of this Act, if not inconsistent with the context,—

“The Board” means the Wellington Harbour Board as constituted under “The Wellington Harbour Board Act, 1879,” and its amendments:

“The Act” means and includes “The Harbours Act, 1878,” and its amendments:

“The principal Act” means “The Wellington Harbour Board Reclamation and Empowering Act, 1903.”

3 Special Act.

This Act shall be deemed to be a special Act within the meaning of the Act.

4 Amendment of principal Act.

The second paragraph of section six of the principal Act is hereby repealed, and the following enacted in lieu thereof:—

“The Governor may, by notice or notices in the Gazette, declare that the lands described in the Second and Third Schedules hereto shall revest in His Majesty; and His Majesty shall at all times have right of ingress and egress over the roads surrounding such lands.”

5 No structure to be erected on certain land without consent.

The Board shall not build any structure on the land lying between that defined in the Second Schedule hereto and the sea on such portion thereof as lies between the extension of the side M N of the land described in the Second Schedule and a line parallel thereto, and at a distance of fifteen feet therefrom measured at right angles thereto, and on the westward side thereof, without the approval of plans of such structure first obtained from the Superintendent of Telegraphs. The Government shall have the right to erect any necessary gear for supporting cables in transit from the eastern side of the land described in the Second Schedule and the sea adjacent thereto.

6 Power to reclaim.

The Board may, subject to the provisions of the Act, from time to time fill up and reclaim from the sea the land described in the First Schedule hereto, and may for that purpose, if it thinks fit, enter into any contract or contracts with any person or persons for the execution of all or any works which may be necessary or expedient in or about the filling-up and reclamation of such land as aforesaid, upon such terms and conditions as may seem to it proper and reasonable.

7 Vesting of land.

The land described in the First Schedule shall vest in the Board for the purposes for which the Board is constituted.
