425: Leases, licences, and other authorities under Harbours Act 1950

You could also call this:

"Leases and licences under the old Harbours Act are still valid under the new Resource Management Act."

If you have a lease under the Harbours Act 1950, it will still be valid after the Resource Management Act 1991 starts. The lease will have the same conditions and effects as it did before. You will still have the same rights and responsibilities as you did before the Resource Management Act 1991 started. When your lease is due to expire, section 124 will apply to it.

If you have a licence or permit under the Harbours Act 1950, it will also still be valid after the Resource Management Act 1991 starts. This includes licences or permits granted under certain sections of the Harbours Act 1950, as well as Orders in Council made under that Act. You will still have the same conditions and effects as you did before the Resource Management Act 1991 started.

This section is subject to section 12 of the Aquaculture Reform (Repeals and Transitional Provisions) Act 2004. You should look at that section to understand how it applies to you. The rules in this section will still apply to you, unless section 12 says otherwise.
