Pursuant to Maritime Rule Part 91.22(3)(c), I, Keith Manch, Director of Maritime New Zealand, hereby revoke the Water Recreation (Waipa River) Notice 1982*, which provided for a permanent speed uplifting for all that area of the Waipa River downstream of Pirongia to the Waikato River, as more particularly shown marked "green" on Plan M D 16112, deposited in the office of the Ministry of Transport at Wellington.
This matter is now provided for in the Waikato Regional Council Navigation Safety Bylaw at page 74, clause 1.27, which provides for a permanent speed uplifting for all waters from the confluence of the Maroheno Stream with the Waipa River, upstream to Pirongia, but excludes all streams or tributaries entering the Waipa River.
Within this zone, the speed provisions in clause 2.5 apply, however any vessel may exceed 5 knots within 30 metres of shore or within 50 metres of any structure.
Dated at Wellington this 3rd day of September 2014.
KEITH MANCH, Director of Maritime New Zealand.
