An Act to authorize the Corporation of the Borough of Lyttelton to take over and declare to be Public Streets certain Streets, whether now existing or hereafter to be laid out, and to remove certain Restrictions from the Title to certain Reserves, and to validate certain Leases granted by the said Corporation.

Preamble.

WHEREAS, owing to the configuration of the Borough of Lyttelton, it is desirable that certain streets should be constructed of a less width than the width specified by the Municipal Corporations Act, 1920: And whereas reserves numbered 34 and 68, and part of reserves numbered 35 and 36, more particularly described in the Schedule hereto, are vested in the Mayor, Councillors, and Burgesses of the Borough of Lyttelton, upon trust as and for the sites for public buildings for the use and benefit of the inhabitants of the Borough of Lyttelton, and upon trust to use and occupy the same when and so long as the same or any part thereof shall not be built upon for general municipal purposes: And whereas the whole of the said last-mentioned lands are not required for sites for public buildings, and it is desirable that the title thereto should be vested in the Mayor, Councillors, and Burgesses of the Borough of Lyttelton, freed from all restrictions: And whereas the said Corporation has granted leases affecting parts of the above-mentioned reserves, believing that it had the power so to do, and it is desirable to validate such leases:

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 Borough of Lyttelton Corporation Enabling Act, 1929.

2 Interpretation.

In this Act, if not inconsistent with the context,—

“The Borough” means the Borough of Lyttelton:

“The Borough Council” means the Borough Council of Lyttelton:

“Street” includes “private street,” and is used with the meaning attached to “street” or “private street” by the Municipal Corporations Act, 1920.

3 Certain streets may be declared public streets.

The Borough Council may, with the consent of the Governor-General in Council, take over and declare any street, whether now existing or hereafter to be laid out, within the borough to be a public street, notwithstanding that the same may be of less width than the width prescribed by the Municipal Corporations Act, 1920.

4 Sections 152, et seq., of the Municipal Corporations Act, 1920, to apply.

The Borough Council may exercise all or any of the powers of leasing and other powers set out in sections one hundred and fifty-two, one hundred and fifty-three, one hundred and fifty-four, one hundred and fifty-five, one hundred and fifty-eight, one hundred and fifty-nine, one hundred and sixty, and one hundred and sixty-two of the Municipal Corporations Act, 1920, in respect of all those parcels of land described in the Schedule hereto.

5 Validating existing leases.

All leases of any part or parts of the said reserves numbered 34 and 68 heretofore granted by the Borough Council shall for all purposes be deemed to have been lawfully issued in the same manner as if they had been issued subsequent to the passing of this Act.
