19 Special rate in respect of local board areas
The board may, by notice published in the Gazette, in respect of each financial year, declare a special rate on any holding of more than
100 hectares that is situated within an area in relation to which a local board is established.
The special rate must, unless the Minister and each occupier of land on which the special rate is declared agree otherwise, be expressed as an amount per square kilometre of the land on which it is declared, not exceeding the prescribed amount per square kilometre.
The amount collected or recovered by the board in consequence of the declaration of a special rate under this clause, less the cost to the board of collection and recovery of that amount, must be paid to the local board.
