Purpose for Which Leasehold Estate is Required
The leasehold estate ("the Lease") is required to allow the Crown to occupy it during the construction of the Project. The land will be used for construction of fencing, landscaping, footpaths, alterations to services and access.
Terms of the Leasehold Estate
1. The Crown must give the registered proprietor reasonable notice prior to first entry onto the Land for occupation during the construction of the Project.
2. The Lease shall have a term of one year, commencing
on the 14th day after publication of a proclamation taking the land and the Lease in the New Zealand Gazette, and terminating on that date one year thereafter.
3. The Crown shall pay to the registered proprietor
a current market rent for the term of the Lease, such
rate to be determined by a registered valuer at the commencement of the Lease.
4. The Crown may, on the giving of written notice to the registered proprietor, extend the term of the Lease for a further one year should the Project not be completed by the expiry of the original term. The current market rent shall be reviewed at the time the registered proprietor is given notice of any such extension.
5. Notwithstanding the term created, the Crown may terminate the Lease at any time by giving the registered proprietor one month’s notice in writing.
6. The Crown shall have the right to occupy the land subject to the Lease, including the right to enter and
re-enter the land at all times, with or without such vehicles, machinery or materials for the purpose set out in the notice.
7. The Crown shall take all reasonable steps to minimise damage to the land described in the Fourth Schedule ("Leased Land") and to the balance of the land held in Computer Freehold Register NA4A/223, arising from the Crown’s occupation of the Leased Land and/or the execution of construction of the Project. The Crown will, at its cost, promptly restore any damage to the Leased Land or the balance of the land to such condition as ensures the quality, fitness for purpose and condition of the area is no less than before the Crown carried out any work on it.
The land is located at 67 and 69 Maunu Road, and 1 Otaika Road, Whangarei.
Dated at Wellington this 22nd day of May 2012.
