An Act to define the Limits of Reclamation by the Corporation of Wellington in the Harbour of Wellington, and to provide Powers for effecting Reclamation within such Limits, and to vest certain Lands in the Wellington Harbour Board.
WHEREAS by a grant from the Crown dated the twenty-fourth day of June, one thousand eight hundred and seventy-four, a piece of land (described in the schedule to The Te Aro Reclamation Act 1879) was granted to the Mayor, Councillors, and Citizens of the City of Wellington (in this Act called the Corporation) upon trust for reclamation and for purposes of public utility: And whereas the land granted by the said grant is in the Harbour of Wellington, and below high-water mark, and by The Te Aro Reclamation Act 1879, powers to fill up and reclaim the whole of the said land from the sea were conferred on the Corporation: And whereas at the date of the said grant no Harbour Board for the Harbour of Wellington existed, and the Corporation were the local authority having control of the Queen's Wharf in the said harbour: And whereas by The Wellington Harbour Board Act 1879, the Wellington Harbour Board (in this Act called the Board) was constituted a Harbour Board for the Harbour of Wellington, with the powers and duties defined by The Harbours Act 1878, and the Acts amending the same: And whereas reclamation as far as the seaward boundary-line of the land comprised in the said grant would be injurious to the Harbour of Wellington, and it is necessary to define limits beyond which future reclamation by the Corporation shall not extend, and further to provide for certain reclamation to the limits so defined, and to vest certain lands in the Board for the purposes hereafter mentioned:
BE IT THEREFORE ENACTED by the General Assembly of New Zealand in Parliament assembled, and by the authority of the same, as follows:—
