(1) Upon application made to it in that behalf by the Minister of Maori Affairs, the Court is hereby empowered and directed to make an order setting apart any portion of the land referred to in subsection (4) of this section as a Maori reservation for the common use of the Maoris resident in and around Pukekohe as a meeting place, building site, recreation ground, or in any other manner that may be for their common use or benefit:
Provided that any order made by the Court under this subsection shall have no force or effect until and unless it has been consented to by the Minister of Education.
(2) Upon receipt of the order referred to in subsection (1) of this section the District Land Registrar for the Land Registration District of Auckland shall make all such entries in the register as may be necessary to give effect to the order.
(3) The provisions of section 5 of the Maori Purposes Act 1937 shall apply to the said land in as full and effectual a manner as if the said land had been set apart as a Maori reservation by an Order in Council under that section, and the Court is hereby declared to have, in respect of the said land, all the powers conferred upon it by the said section 5.
(4) The land to which this section relates is more particularly described as Lot 11 on Deposited Plan Number 6611, being part of Allotment Number 53 of Suburban Section Number 2, Parish of Pukekohe, Auckland Land District.
Whereas the land described in subsection (5) of this section is vested in the Maori Trustee in trust for the persons whose names are set out in the report of the Court referred to in subsection (1) of this section: And whereas it is desirable that the Maori Trustee should be discharged from the said trust and that the said land should be vested for an estate in fee simple in the persons beneficially entitled thereto: Be it therefore enacted as follows:
(1) Upon application made to it in that behalf by the Maori Trustee, the Court is hereby empowered and directed to make an order vesting the said land for an estate in fee simple in the persons named in a report made by the Court in respect of the said land and dated the 26th day of September 1919, or the descendants or successors of those persons, as tenants in common in such shares as to the Court seems just and equitable.
(2) Upon the making of the order referred to in subsection (1) of this section the Maori Trustee shall be deemed to have been discharged from his trust in respect of the said land, and the District Land Registrar for the Land Registration District of Auckland shall issue a certificate of title for the said land in favour of the persons named in the said order and endorse on the certificate a memorial in accordance with subsection (4) of this section.
(3) The said land, upon the issue of the certificate of title referred to in subsection (2) of this section, shall be deemed to be Maori freehold land.
(4) There shall be reserved the right of Her Majesty the Queen to all minerals, mineral oil, gas, metals, coal, and valuable stone under the surface of the said land, and the right of ingress, egress, and regress to all persons lawfully authorised by Her Majesty, or under the authority of any statute, engaged in searching for or working any such minerals, mineral oil, gas, metal, coal, or stone, and the right of Her Majesty or any such authorised person to sink all necessary pits and shafts, and to make and erect all necessary erections, machinery, roads, and buildings, and other conveniences and things for any such purpose.
