An Act to amend the Land Act 1948
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 Land Amendment Act 1963, and shall be read together with and deemed part of the Land Act 1948 (hereinafter referred to as the principal Act).
2 Marginal Lands Board may acquire farm land for disposal to holders of uneconomic farm units
The principal Act is hereby amended by inserting, after section 15, the following section:
“15a
(1)
Notwithstanding anything in this Act, the Marginal Lands Board established under the Marginal Lands Act 1950 shall have all the powers of the Land Settlement Board under this Act—
“(a)
To purchase farm land on behalf of Her Majesty for the purpose of disposal to holders of uneconomic areas of farm land; and
“(b)
To alienate, without public notice and without competition, any land so acquired on any tenure provided by this Act to any person for amalgamation with any other farm land where such amalgamation will create a holding suitable for farming and occupation as an independent farm unit.
“(2)
The Marginal Lands Board may, for the purpose of exercising the powers of the Land Settlement Board conferred on the Marginal Lands Board by this section, exercise the same powers of delegation as are conferred on the Land Settlement Board by section 15 of this Act.
“(3)
For the purposes of this Act and any other Act, the exercise by the Marginal Lands Board of the powers conferred by this section shall be deemed to have the same effect as if those powers had been exercised by the Land Settlement Board.
“(4)
The powers conferred on the Marginal Lands Board by this section shall not operate to prevent the exercise by the Land Settlement Board itself of any of the powers conferred on it by this Act.”
3 Penalty for offences
Section 184 of the principal Act is hereby amended by inserting, after subsection (2), the following subsection:
“(2a)
Regulations made under this section may prescribe fines, not exceeding one hundred pounds, for offences against the regulations.”
