In the matter of Public Works Act 1981 and in the matter of Hokitika Aerodrome:
Whereas the Westland County Council, the local authority having control of the Hokitika Aerodrome, by notice in the New Zealand Gazette, No. 23, page 1830 of 12 August 1937, pursuant to section 4 of the Public Works Amendment Act 1935, prohibited limited or restricted the use of the lands described therein to the extent therein described and whereas by virtue of an Order in Council dated the 9th day of June 1989, made pursuant to the Local Government Act 1974, the Westland District Council assumed the powers, functions and obligations of the Westland County Council, and whereas the provision of the Public Works Act 1981, corresponding to section 4 of the Public Works Amendment Act 1935, namely section 187, was repealed by the Resource Management Act 1991, without providing any substituted procedures so that the provisions of the Interpretation Act 1999, saving the said section are applicable thereby enabling the notice to be revoked, and whereas the Westland District Council has resolved that the prohibitions, limitations or restrictions contained in the said notice are no longer necessary for the safe and efficient functioning or operation of the aerodrome and the notice ought to be revoked.
Now, therefore, the Westland District Council revokes the notice dated the 9th day of August 1937 and published in the New Zealand Gazette No. 23, page 1830 of 12 August 1937 and deposited with the District Land Registrar at Hokitika under K. Notice 593.
Dated at Hokitika this 17th day of March 2000.
