An Act to amend the Clutha County Empowering (Community Centres) Act 1962 to confer upon the Clutha County Council the power to contribute towards the cost of establishing and maintaining community centres outside the County of Clutha from which residents of the County of Clutha are deriving benefit or are likely to derive benefit and for such purposes to strike a rate or levy in accordance with the provisions of the principal Act to cover such contribution or contributions and the costs incidental thereto

WHEREAS residents of the County of Clutha are deriving benefit from a community centre established and maintained by an adjoining local authority: And whereas residents of the County of Clutha are likely to derive benefit from community centres established by adjoining local authorities in the future: And whereas it is desirable that the Clutha County Council be empowered to contribute towards the cost of establishing and maintaining such community centres: And whereas it is further desirable in the interests of avoiding disproportionate financial obligation being imposed on certain ratepayers that Council be empowered to levy the amount of such contribution or contributions from those residents of the County of Clutha who are deriving benefit or are likely to derive benefit as aforesaid: And whereas it is not possible for the Clutha County Council so to contribute and levy under the Act in its present form:

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