An Act to amend the Oamaru Town Hall and Gasworks Sites and Recreation Reserves Act, 1875, and to exempt all Lands vested in the Corporation of the Incorporated Town of Oamaru in Trust for Purposes of Public Utility for the Town of Oamaru and its Inhabitants from certain Provisions of the Municipal Corporations Act, 1908.

Preamble.

WHEREAS under and by virtue of the Oamaru Town Hall and Gasworks Sites and Recreation Reserves Act, 1875, the land described in the Schedule hereto is now vested in the Mayor, Councillors, and Burgesses of the Borough of Oamaru as a site for a Town Hall: And whereas, such site having been found unsuitable, another site has been obtained, and a Town Hall has been erected thereon, and the land described in the said Schedule is therefore no longer required for the purpose for which the same was originally held and set apart: And whereas certain sections of land situate in different portions of the Borough of Oamaru are vested in the Mayor, Councillors, and Burgesses of the said borough in trust for purposes of public utility for the said borough and its inhabitants: And whereas it is expedient to give to the Mayor, Councillors, and Burgesses of the Borough of Oamaru certain powers of leasing in respect of the said land described in the said Schedule hereto, and to exempt such land and the said sections of land so vested as aforesaid from certain provisions of the Municipal Corporations Act, 1908:

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.

This Act may be cited as the Oamaru Reserves Act, 1908.

2 Interpretation.

In this Act, if not inconsistent with the context, “the Corporation” means the Mayor, Councillors, and Burgesses of the Borough of Oamaru, and includes the Oamaru Borough Council.

3 Power to lease.

Notwithstanding anything contained in the Oamaru Town Hall and Gasworks Sites and Recreation Reserves Act, 1875, or any other Act to the contrary, it shall be lawful for the Corporation from time to time—

(a.)

To lease by private treaty to the Oamaru Fire Board, being a Fire Board constituted under the Fire Brigades Act, 1908, any part of the land described in the Schedule hereto for the purposes of the said Board, at such rent, for such term, and upon such conditions as the Corporation may deem proper:

(b.)

To let on lease in one or more lots such part of the said lands described in the said Schedule hereto as is not for the time being leased to the said Board.

4 Limitation. Certain provisions in Municipal Corporations Act, 1908, not to apply.

Such last-mentioned power to lease shall be exercised in the same manner and subject to the same limitations as land now vested in or held by the Corporation for purposes of public utility for the Town of Oamaru and its inhabitants may be leased, except that the provisions of subsection two of section one hundred and forty of the Municipal Corporations Act, 1908, shall not extend or be applicable to the land described in the said Schedule hereto, or any other land now vested in or held by the Corporation for purposes of public utility for the Town of Oamaru and its inhabitants.
