Biosecurity Act 1993

Savings and transitional provisions

184: Designated ports of entry

You could also call this:

"Special ports that boats must arrive at in New Zealand"

When a boat arrives in New Zealand, it must come to a special port. The Director-General has chosen some ports for this, which you can find in Schedule 8. These ports are used between the start of Part 3 and 1 July 1995.

The Director-General can stop a port from being used at any time, as stated in section 37(7). If this happens, the port is no longer a special port for boats arriving in New Zealand. You can find more information about this in section 37.
