An Act to amend the Waitangi Day Act 1960

BE IT 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 Waitangi Day Amendment Act 1963, and shall be read together with and deemed part of the Waitangi Day Act 1960 (hereinafter referred to as the principal Act).

2 Waitangi Day to be public holiday in Northland

The principal Act is hereby amended by repealing section 3, and substituting the following section:

“3

(1)

Waitangi Day shall be observed as a public holiday in that area of Northland to which this section applies.

“(2)

Where in any Act, award, or industrial agreement provision is made for the granting of a holiday, or the observance of certain hours of labour, or the payment of certain rates of wages on Waitangi Day, if that day falls on a Saturday or a Sunday, those provisions shall apply on the next succeeding Monday as if it were Waitangi Day.

“(3)

Where in any Act, award, or industrial agreement affecting workers employed in the area to which this section applies reference is made to Anniversary Day or the day of the anniversary of the Province of Auckland, then, in relation to that area, the reference shall be deemed a reference to Waitangi Day and, notwithstanding the provisions of section 4 of the Public Holidays Act 1955, the provisions of subsection (2) of this section shall apply with respect to that area.

“(4)

The provisions of section 187 of the Industrial Conciliation and Arbitration Act 1954 shall have no application with respect to any award or industrial agreement to which this section applies.

“(5)

For the purposes of this section—

“‘Act’ includes any regulation, rule, or order made under any Act:

“‘Award or industrial agreement’ includes any instrument or contract relating to the terms of employment of any worker.

“(6)

This section applies to all that area in the North Island north of the southern boundary of Otamatea County as that county is for the time being constituted.”

3 Observance in other areas

The principal Act is hereby further amended by adding the following section:

“4

(1)

The Governor-General may from time to time, by Order in Council, apply the provisions of section 3 of this Act, with such modifications as may be prescribed in the Order in Council, to any area or locality in New Zealand to which that section does not apply.

“(2)

Where any Order in Council under this section applies the provisions of section 3 of this Act to any area or locality, the provisions of section 187 of the Industrial Conciliation and Arbitration Act 1954 shall have no application with respect to any award or industrial agreement in so far as it is affected by the Order in Council unless express provision to the contrary is made in the Order in Council.”

This Act is administered in the Department of Maori Affairs.
