An Act to amend the Bay of Islands Harbour Act, 1920.

Preamble.

WHEREAS by section nine of the Bay of Islands Harbour Act, 1920 (hereinafter called the said Act), the Bay of Islands Harbour Board was empowered to make and levy a special rate upon all ratable property within the harbour district for the purpose of providing the annual charges upon any moneys to be borrowed under the authority of the said Act: And whereas by subsection two of section thirteen of the said Act the Board was empowered to make and levy a rate not exceeding one farthing in the pound on the capital value of all ratable property within the harbour district for the purpose of providing for the excess, if any, of the estimated expenditure of the Board over the estimated revenue: And whereas doubt has arisen as to the power of the Board to make and levy rates upon the basis of the capital value of all ratable property within the harbour district: And whereas it is expedient that such power should be definitely given:

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 Bay of Islands Harbour Amendment Act, 1930.

2 Rates may be levied on the capital value.

(1)

Notwithstanding anything contained in the Harbours Act, 1923, or the Rating Act, 1925, it shall be lawful for the Board to make and levy all rates hereafter to be made and levied by the Board upon the basis of the capital value of all ratable property within the harbour district:

Provided that the Board shall not continue so to make and levy its rates in any financial year after that ending on the thirty-first day of March, nineteen hundred and thirty-two, unless authorized by a poll of Ratepayers of the harbour district in that behalf, taken on the day on which the first general election of members of the Board after the passing of this Act is held.

(2)

Not less than fourteen clear days’ notice of the Board’s intention to take such poll as aforesaid shall be given in some newspaper circulating in the district. The provisions of section forty (except subsections one and two) and sections forty-one and forty-two of the Rating Act, 1925, shall, with the necessary modifications, apply to such poll.

3 Board deemed to be local authority of district.

The Bay of Islands Harbour District shall be deemed to be a district within the meaning of sections thirty-nine to forty-seven of the Rating Act, 1925, and the Board shall be deemed to be the local authority of such district:

Provided, however, that if a proposal for the adoption of the system of rating property on the basis of the unimproved value is carried no other rates than those made and levied by the Board shall be thereby affected.
