Contribution to works of the Board
33 Contribution to works of the Board
Where the Board carries out works within the area of a council or the areas of two or more councils, or benefiting that area or those areas, for the protection, restoration or development of any part of the coast within a coast protection district the Board may recover, as a debt, from the council or councils contribution towards the expense incurred in carrying out those works.
The amount of the contribution shall be determined by the Board subject to the following provisions:
where the works consist in the provision of a coast facility, the contribution may be an amount of up to one-half of the expense incurred by the
Board; and
in any other case the contribution may be an amount of up to one-fifth of the expense incurred by the Board.
Where the works are carried out in the areas of two or more councils, or benefit the areas of two or more councils, the contribution to which the Board is entitled under this section may be apportioned between the councils in such manner as the Board may determine.
Where the Board, acting with the approval of a council and in pursuance of its powers under this Act, acquires land within the area of the council, the Board may recover from the council, as a debt, a contribution, determined by the Board, not exceeding one-half of the cost incurred by the
Board in acquiring the land.
