An Act to empower the North Canterbury Catchment Board to subdivide and develop certain land vested in it and to expend money for certain purposes

WHEREAS the Waimakariri River Trust, a body corporate constituted under the Waimakariri River Improvement Act 1922, had vested in it certain land as reserves or as endowments or for river conservation purposes: And whereas by a Proclamation of the 10th day of February 1947 and appearing in the New Zealand Gazette, No. 8, of the 13th day of February 1947, page 199, the Waimakariri River Trust was dissolved and the powers and functions thereof transferred to the North Canterbury Catchment Board, a body corporate under the Soil Conservation and Rivers Control Act 1941: And whereas the said land formerly vested in the Waimakariri River Trust is now vested in the North Canterbury Catchment Board as the successor of the Waimakariri River Trust subject to all such trusts as affected the same and with the powers conferred on the Waimakariri River Trust by the Waimakariri River Improvement Act 1922 and its amendments: And whereas the North Canterbury Catchment Board desires to subdivide and develop certain of the land so vested in it in order that the same may be put to the best possible use: And whereas it is doubtful whether the North Canterbury Catchment Board has sufficient powers to subdivide and develop such land:

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
