The Board may from time to time, subject to the provisions of the Harbours Act 1950, borrow any sum or sums of money not exceeding in the whole nine hundred and forty thousand dollars in addition to money heretofore authorised to be borrowed under or by virtue of any Act. The money borrowed under the authority of this Act shall be applied and expended in constructing or carrying into effect, subject to the provisions of the Harbours Act 1950, the harbour works specified in Schedule 1 to this Act.
The words “nine hundred and forty thousand dollars”
were substituted, as from 10 July 1967, for the words “four hundred and seventy thousand pounds”
pursuant to section 7(1) Decimal Currency Act 1964 (1964 No 27).
(1) The Board is hereby authorised to expend from its Port Development Loan Account a sum not exceeding four hundred thousand dollars out of moneys borrowed pursuant to the Otago Harbour Board Empowering Act 1958 and sanctioned by the Local Authorities Loans Board for its Port Development Scheme, and to use such moneys for the purposes of the harbour works specified in Schedule 1 to this Act.
(2) Any part of the said sum of four hundred thousand dollars expended by the Board for the said works before the passing of this Act is hereby validated and declared to have been lawful.
The words “four hundred thousand dollars”

pursuant to section 7(1) Decimal Currency Act 1964 (1964 No 27).
The Board is hereby authorised to refund to its Port Development Loan Account out of moneys borrowed pursuant to section 4 of this Act, moneys borrowed from that Account, whether before or after the passing of this Act, and expended in the construction of the harbour works specified in Schedule 1 to this Act.
For the purposes of the development of the said Harbour Works, the Board may, when the land is vested in it, grant to the Union Steam Ship Company of New Zealand Limited, a lease or licence to occupy land not exceeding five acres in area, with buildings and facilities thereon, upon such terms and conditions, including rights of renewal and surrender, as the Board considers fit.
The Board is hereby authorised, notwithstanding anything in section 175 of the Harbours Act 1950, but subject to the provisions of section 176 to 182 of that Act, to reclaim twenty-one acres and eight tenths of an acre, more or less, of the waters of the Otago Harbour, being part of the bed of the Otago Harbour and part of the endowment of the Board, as described in Schedule 2 to this Act.
It shall be lawful for the Governor-General in Council from time to time to vest in the Board pursuant to the provisions of the Harbours Act 1950 such portions of the bed of the Otago Harbour which may from time to time be reclaimed from the said Harbour under the authority of this Act or the Order in Council dated the twenty-first day of March 1966 and published in the Gazette of the thirty-first day of March 1966 at page 566.
