Third Schedule
Purpose for Which Leasehold Estate is Required
The lease is required to allow the Crown to occupy the lease land during the construction of the project. The lease land will be used for access to construction areas, drainage works, placement of fill, re-contouring and such other purpose or purposes reasonably required for construction of the project.
Terms of the Leasehold Estate
1. For the purpose of the lease, any reference to the Crown includes its employees, engineers, assistants, consultants, contractors and authorised invitees.
2. The lease shall commence on the 14th day after publication of a proclamation taking the land and the lease in the New Zealand Gazette, and terminate on
that date two years thereafter ("term").
3. The registered proprietor shall be entitled to receive
a current market rent for the term, such rate to be determined by a registered valuer and agreed between the parties or otherwise, in accordance with the Public Works Act 1981, at the commencement of the lease.
4. The Crown may, on the giving of written notice to the registered proprietor, extend the term for two further periods of 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 lease land for the term and, for the avoidance of doubt, such right shall include the right to enter and re-enter the lease land at all times, with or without such vehicles, machinery or materials for the purposes set out in the notice.
7. Prior to commencement of the project, the Crown shall erect a temporary fence for the period of construction of the project to provide adequate security to the balance
of the property and, in particular, to livestock.
8. The Crown shall take all reasonable steps to minimise damage to the lease land arising from the Crown's occupation under the lease and/or the execution of construction of the project.
9. The Crown shall, at the expiration of the term, or any extended period taken in accordance with the lease, remove all debris arising from the Crown's occupation under the lease together with any temporary fences, construction machinery, construction buildings, sheds, hardstands, and other improvements required to be erected by the Crown during the lease. The Crown shall otherwise restore the surface of the lease land so as to be generally in keeping with the condition of the lease land prior to entry. The Crown shall complete such work in a good and workmanlike manner.
The land is located at 2682 State Highway 1, Akerama.
Dated at Wellington this 17th day of October 2013.
HON MAURICE WILLIAMSON, Minister for Land Information.
