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 Transport Amendment Act (No. 4) 1985, and shall be read together with and deemed part of the Transport Act 1962 (hereinafter referred to as the principal Act).

2 Licensing Authority with jurisdiction in any district

The principal Act is hereby amended by inserting, after section 93, the following section:

“93a

“(1)

Notwithstanding section 93 of this Act, there shall be a Licensing Authority which shall, subject to this section, have jurisdiction in any or all transport districts.

“(2)

The Licensing Authority appointed under this section shall consist of one person appointed by the Minister.

“(3)

The Licensing Authority appointed under the authority of this section shall be entitled to exercise his jurisdiction in any transport district only where the Minister is satisfied that—

“(a)

The Licensing Authority for that district is or is likely to be unable to deal expeditiously with all the transport licensing matters arising in its district; and

“(b)

It would not be appropriate to authorise under section 93(4) of this Act any other Licensing Authority to act in the district.

“(4)

Every authorisation under subsection (3) of this section shall be given by notice in writing to the Licensing Authority and shall be for such period as shall be specified in the notice.”
