WHEREAS the Wellington City Mission (Church of England) Trust Board (hereinafter referred to as the said Board) is a Board incorporated under the Charitable Trusts Act 1957 pursuant to the provisions of the Wellington City Mission (Church of England) Act 1929 (hereinafter referred to as the said Act): And whereas by section 5 paragraph (a) of the said Act it is provided that all property which shall become vested in the Board shall be held for use in connection with or for the purposes of a mission in the City of Wellington in connection with the Church of the Province of New Zealand, commonly called the Church of England: And whereas it is desirable that any such property that becomes vested in the Board after the commencement of this Act shall be held by the Board for the purposes of a mission not only in the City of Wellington but also throughout the Diocese which for the time being shall include the City of Wellington: And whereas by the provisos to subsections (1) and (2) of section 6 of the said Act the Board is precluded from selling, exchanging, or mortgaging any land or from acquiring real property or erecting any building or other improvements thereon (if the same shall involve an expenditure in any one period of twelve months or a total liability exceeding the sum of two hundred pounds) without the consent of the Synod of the Diocese, which for the time being shall include the City of Wellington or of the Standing Committee thereof: And whereas it is now desirable that the restrictions placed upon the Board by the said provisos to the said two subsections shall be removed and that the powers vested in the Board by the said section 6 shall be limited only by regulations which the Synod of the Diocese or the Standing Committee thereof is empowered to make pursuant to the provisions of section 8 of the said Act: And whereas it is desired that the Bishop of the Diocese in which for the time being the City of Wellington is situated should at all times be a member of the Board in addition to the members appointed pursuant to the provisions of the said Act:

Be it therefore enacted by the General Assembly of New Zealand in Parliament assembled, and by the authority of the same, as follows:
