The Government does not accept any responsibility or liability whatsoever for an action taken as a result of reading, or reliance placed because of having read any part, or all, of the information in this document, or the Bill, or for any error, inadequacy, deficiency, flaw in or omission from this document, or the Bill.
This paper is a companion document to the exposure draft of the Statutes Repeal Bill.The Government approved, in August 2015, the release of an exposure draft of the Statutes Repeal Bill.
Departments have identified a number of Acts or provisions that appear to be redundant.Following a process of departmental review, the Acts and provisions set out in the exposure draft have been approved for repeal by the relevant Ministers.
Before the Government introduces the Statutes Repeal Bill to Parliament, however, it seeks to confirm departmental advice that the proposed repeals will not adversely impact on any party and are suitable for repeal.
As part of its recent response to the New Zealand Productivity Commission report on Regulatory Institutions and Practices, the Government indicated that it was looking at ways to better keep legislation up to date, such as use of omnibus Bills to repeal redundant legislation, or make technical or minor policy changes. It also announced its intention to introduce a Statutes Repeal Bill during 2015.
The proposed Statutes Repeal Bill is a successor to the Regulatory Reform (Repeals) Act 2012 which repealed 31 Acts, and then also repealed itself. Prior to this Act, an omnibus Bill to repeal redundant statutes had not been passed in New Zealand since 1907.
The purpose of the Statutes Repeal Bill is to maintain a body of legislation that is up to date and fit for purpose by repealing legislation that is unnecessary and spent. Maintaining a quality regulatory environment requires ensuring that the existing body of legislation is relevant, up to date and fit for purpose. Achieving this will reduce the costs of both administering and using legislation. In particular many less experienced users of legislation may quite reasonably assume that if a law remains on the books that it must serve some purpose or function when this is often not the case.
A key benefit of omnibus repeal Bills is that they provide a timely and cost effective method of collectively repealing spent Acts. The time and cost associated with individual repeals is hard to justify so without an omnibus Bill spent Acts can sit in the statute books indefinitely.
This paper has two Parts.
Part 1 is an overview of the process of putting together the exposure draft Statutes Repeal Bill, and outlines the types of Acts proposed for repeal in the Bill.
Part 2 describes in more detail the Acts being repealed.
Candidate Acts and provisions for repeal have been selected on the basis that they are redundant, either because they are spent, or are no longer required, or are designed to achieve regulatory outcomes that are no longer relevant.
In some cases where an Act contains a small number of provisions that remain of use, the Bill will save those provisions from the Act being repealed by inserting them into another appropriate Act.
Each public Act included in the exposure draft was recommended for repeal by the department or agency that administers it. This followed a process of review by departments to ensure that each Act met the criteria for being redundant.
The exposure draft does not yet incorporate all consequential amendments to enactments that may be necessary as a result of amendments.
In most cases the Act is considered redundant because it is spent and has no ongoing effect on any party. Many of the Acts primarily existed to fulfil a one off function or facilitate a one off transfer, and become spent once that is complete. Other Acts may be redundant because the purpose they fulfilled is no longer relevant or has been superseded by more modern legislation.
The repeal of many Acts is possible because of the general savings provisions in section 17 of the Interpretation Act 1999. These provide that the repeal of a statute does not affect:
The repeal of an Act also does not revive an enactment that has been repealed or a rule of law that has been abolished, or any other thing that is not in force or existing at the time the repeal takes effect. All Acts repealed by the Bill would continue to be found in the repealed statute part of the New Zealand Legislation website.
Most of the Acts proposed for repeal or partial repeal are public Acts. They are administered by a variety of departments and dealt with numerous different issues. Below is a summary of the kinds of Acts scheduled for repeal, which might help you navigate the Bill when looking for Acts that may be of interest. All Acts for repeal in this Bill can be viewed on the New Zealand Legislation website http://www.legislation.govt.nz.
61 of the Acts for repeal in the Bill are Finance Acts. Finance Acts contain a wide variety of provisions. Most relate to the financial management of Government, including authorising and validating expenditure or actions by central government, government owned entities, local authorities and Members of Parliament.
Part two describes the Finance Acts proposed for repeal section by section.
Some Acts or sections within Acts do not come into force unless brought into force by an Order in Council. Legislation that has received Royal assent but is not yet in force because an Order in Council has not been made is latent.
This Bill repeals some latent enactments, where the Government has determined that the enactments will not be brought into force.
Private Acts are promoted by an individual, body or entity outside Parliament to deal with their particular interests or circ*mstances. They have been passed to create special exemptions to the law to deal with unique circ*mstances, or to assist with the constitution of a body such as a church, an education institution or a club. Private Acts are not administered by any department.
Name of Act | Description |
|---|---|
Administration of Community Sentences and Orders Act 2013 Section 45(1). | This section is related to the Sentencing Council Act 2007, which is proposed for repeal. |
Auckland Harbour Bridge Dissolution Authority Act 1983 | This Act dissolved the Auckland Harbour Bridge Authority. Several provisions remain operative including section 2 which defines the Auckland Harbour Bridge (AHB) to exclude other structures which do not form part of the bridge; section 6(1), which declares the AHB to be a motorway, section 9, which provides that the AHB be adequately lighted for the safety of ships and aircraft in the vicinity and section 10 which provides that the agency must approve any persons before they can carry out maintenance or repair work on certain aspects of the AHB. These sections will be saved in the Government Roading Powers Act 1989. |
This Act provides for the dissolution of the Children’s Health Camps Board and the establishment of the New Zealand Foundation for Child and Family Health and Development. The Foundation is now a registered charitable trust and no longer needs the provisions of this Act. Section 14 protects the emblem of the King George the Fifth Memorial Children’s Health Camps Federation. This section will be saved in the Flags, Emblems, and Names Protection Act 1981. | |
Christchurch-Lyttleton Road Tunnel Authority Dissolution Act 1978 | This Act dissolves the Christchurch-Lyttleton Road Tunnel Authority. |
Consolidated Statutes Enactment Act 1908 | This Act repealed all the Public General Acts of New Zealand and replaced them with 208 consolidated Acts. |
Consumer Council Act Repeal Act 1988 | This Act abolishes the Consumer Council and the Consumer Institute, establishes an incorporated society, and repeals the Consumer Council Act 1966. |
Counties Insurance Empowering Act 1941 | The purpose of this Act was to authorise County Councils and Municipal local authorities respectively, to form co-operative insurance companies. In both cases, the consent of the Minister of Finance was required to the registration of the company, and to any amendment to its constitution or articles of association. These functions are now covered by general empowering provisions in the Local Government Act 2002. |
Customs Law Act 1908 | Only 3 sections remain. These allow New Zealand to impose the same restrictions on commonwealth ships that are imposed in their country of origin. The term ‘commonwealth ships’ was dropped when the Maritime Transport Act 1994 replaced the Shipping and Seamen Act 1952.The Ministry of Transport has not had any involvement with this Act in the recent past. The remaining provisions appear to be inconsistent with New Zealand’s obligations under the WTO, as they constitute retaliatory measures. |
Farm and Fishing Vessel Ownership Savings Schemes (Closure) Act 1998 | This Act closes the savings schemes accounts provided for by the Farm Ownership Savings Act 1974 and the Fishing Vessel Ownership Savings Act 1977 (each of which is also recommended for repeal). These accounts should now be closed.The Treasury has consulted with the relevant Banks (via the New Zealand Bankers’ Association) and Building Societies to determine whether any residual accounts are in existence. Approval for the repeal of this Act was sought subject to confirmation from the relevant banks and building societies that: - there are no residual accounts; or - the relevant banks or building society will be able to close the relevant accounts before the Bill is enacted. That confirmation has been received. |
Farm Ownership Savings Act 1974 | This Act encourages saving for farm ownership through the Farm Ownership Accounts. It was amended by the Farm Ownership Savings Amendment Act 1987 so that no accounts were to be opened on or after 19 June 1987. After the Farm and Fishing Vessel Ownership Savings Schemes (Closure) Act 1998 was enacted all Farm Ownership Accounts in existence on 30 June 2001 were required to be closed and their balances paid to their depositors. These accounts should now be closed.As noted above, consultation with the Banks and relevant Building Societies occurred to determine whether all of the relevant accounts have been closed. That confirmation has now been received. |
Fisheries Act 1996Sections 314(1)(a) to (c) and 338. | Section 314 would repeal certain sections of the Fisheries Act 1983. Most of this Act has already been repealed and the remaining provisions will be dealt with when required by legislation. Section 338 if brought into force would create a one off transitional 18 month fishing year for packhorse rock lobsters. There are no plans to implement this. |
Fishing Vessel Ownership Savings Act 1977 | This Act encourages saving for fishing vessel ownership through Fishing Vessel Ownership Accounts (as defined in that Act). It was amended by the Fishing Vessel Ownership Savings Amendment Act 1984 so that no accounts were to be opened on or after 1 January 1985. After the Farm and Fishing Vessel Ownership Savings Schemes (Closure) Act 1998 was enacted all Fishing Vessel Ownership Accounts in existence on 30 June 2001 were required to be closed and their balances paid to their depositors. This Act appears to be spent on the basis that these accounts should now be closed.As noted above, consultation with the banks and relevant building societies occurred to determine whether all of the relevant accounts have been closed. That confirmation has now been received. |
Forests Amendment Act 1996 | The Act was intended to create a registration regime for contracts between forest owners and other people where the contract was for the harvest or sale of forests. The general laws of property and contract will manage the interests covered by the Act. |
Government Superannuation Fund Amendment Act (No 2) 1990Section 12 | If brought into force, section 12 would change the way in which contributions are paid into the Government Superannuation Fund (the Fund). Currently there is a distinction between “funding” employers and “non-funding” employers. The impact of section 12 would be that “non-funding” employers (such as Government departments) would pay directly to the Fund instead of through the Crown making a global payment on their behalf. The Government does not intend to bring this section into force. |
Hawke’s Bay Earthquake Act 1931 | This Act creates powers, including a Court, associated with the recovery from the Hawke’s Bay Earthquake in 1931. This purpose has been achieved.The Hawke’s Bay Regional Council, Napier City Council and Hastings District Council have been consulted. Councils have confirmed that there are no objections to its repeal. |
Hawke’s Bay Earthquake Relief Funds Act 1931 | The Act established a body corporate under the name of the Central Committee of the Hawke's Bay Earthquake Relief Funds. This Committee has completed its work. |
Hutt Road Act 1939 | This Act abolished the Wellington City and Suburban Highways Construction Board of Control which was established in 1924, vested portions of the Hutt Road in respective local authorities and provided that the Council refund any unexpended monies contributed by local authorities to the construction of the Hutt Road. |
Labour Department Act Repeal Act 1989 | Repeals the Labour Department Act 1954. |
Licensing Fund Act 1989 | This Act continued the Licensing Fund established under legislation that has since been repealed. The Licensing Fund account has been closed. |
Local Authority Reorganisation (Property Transfers) Act 1990 | The Act was passed following the 1989 nationwide reorganisation of local government. It enabled the Local Government Commission to investigate any transfer of property by a former local authority that occurred between 14 November 1988 and 31 October 1989. |
Local Restoration Polls Act 1990 | This Act relates to local restoration polls, which legalise liquor sales in previously ‘dry’ districts. All areas in New Zealand now permit the sale of alcohol. |
Marine and Power Engineers Institute Industrial Disputes Act 1974 | Section 3 declares the institute and each branch to be societies of workers for the purposes of Part 10 of the Industrial Relations Act 1973. The Industrial Relations Act 1973 was repealed by section 358(1) of the Labour Relations Act 1987 which was in turn repealed by section 174 of the Employment Contracts Act 1991 which was in turn repealed by section 241 of the Employment Relations Act 2000. |
Medicines Amendment Act 2013Sections 2(1), 5(2), 8, 11 to 15, 17 to 21, 29(1), 32, 33(2), and 34. | Since the Medicines Amendment Act 2013 was passed the Government has made significant decisions in respect of how it wishes to regulate therapeutic products in New Zealand such that it is no longer necessary or desirable for these provisions to come into force. These provisions have a default commencement date of 1 July 2017. |
Mental Hospitals Reserves Act 1908 | This Act provides for the transfer of Mount View Reserve to Wellington hospital and the transfer of Wellington Hospital Reserve to the Crown. The Transfer provisions in the Act are spent. It further allows the Governor (as it was then) to grant leases of Wellington Hospital Reserve and Nelson Mental Hospital Reserve on behalf of the Crown and that any lease proceeds be paid into the public account. Land owners can now make their own lease arrangements. The Act further required that the Mount View Reserve be held on trust as a hospital for infectious diseases, and that the Wellington Hospital Reserve be “reserved and set apart accordingly as an endowment for the establishment and maintenance of mental hospitals”. Neither of these actions has been done, and it would be neither possible nor desirable to rectify these breaches as the former reserve is now owned by the Wellington City Council, the concept of an infectious diseases hospital is outdated, and it would be impractical to require that the later reserve operate as a ‘mental hospital’. |
Ministry of Economic Development Act 2000 | This Act provides for transitional matters relating to the change of name of the Ministry of Commerce, the Secretary of Commerce to the Ministry of Economic Development and the chief executive of the Ministry of Economic Development. The Ministry of Economic Development no longer exists. |
Mortgagors and Lessees Rehabilitation Act 1936 | This Act was passed to address the economic depression in the early 1930s. It is unlikely there are any mortgages or leases to which the Act still applies. |
Mount Albert Licensing Trust Dissolution Act 1986 | This Act provides for the dissolution of the Mount Albert Licensing Trust and to include its trust area in that of the Portage Licensing Trust. |
Municipal Insurance Act 1960 | The purpose of this Act was to authorise County Councils and Municipal local authorities respectively, to form co-operative insurance companies. In both cases, the consent of the Minister of Finance was required to the registration of the company, and to any amendment to its constitution or articles of association. These functions are now covered by general empowering provisions in the Local Government Act 2002. |
National Development Act Repeal Act 1986 | Repeals the National Development Act 1979. |
National Expenditure Adjustment Act 1932 | The parts and sections within those parts that are still in force (public expenditure adjustment, reduction of pensions and allowances payable out of the Consolidated Fund, reduction of interest, rent, and other fixed charges, stamp duty on receipts of interest from government and local bodies securities, rates of interest on deposits payable by investment societies and Trading companies deposits) are referring to processes and authorities that are no longer applicable, or that are covered by more recent legislation such as the Public Finance Act 1989 and Members of Parliament (Remuneration and Services) Act 2013. |
New Zealand Council for Postgraduate Medical Education Act Repeal Act 1990 | This Act dissolved the New Zealand Council for Postgraduate Medical Education. |
New Zealand Export–Import Corporation Dissolution Act 1992 | The New Zealand Export-Import Corporation was established in 1974. Its objective was to promote and encourage the development of overseas trade. It ceased trading in November 1990 and was deemed no longer necessary for New Zealand’s trading capability. The New Zealand Export-Import Corporation Dissolution Act 1992 was enacted to dissolve the Corporation. The Act has served its purpose as the company has been dissolved and the 5 year prohibition on registering a company with the same name has expired. |
New Zealand National Airways Corporation Dissolution Act 1978 | In 1978 the New Zealand National Airways Corporation (NAC) was merged with Air New Zealand Limited. This Act dissolved the NAC and transferred its liabilities and assets to Air New Zealand. Air New Zealand was consulted, and agreed that all provisions are spent. |
Okarito Harbour Act 1932-33 | This Act empowers the Governor General by Order in Council to vest control and management of the Okarito Harbour to any persons for a period not exceeding 25 years. Only one Order was ever made under this Act to provide for the construction of harbour works, which has since expired. Any harbour works of this nature can be dealt with under the Resource Management Act 1991, and vesting of control can also be met under the current system of leasing land. |
Parole Amendment Act 2007Sections 4(1), (3), and (7), 16, 48, 49, and 67. | These sections are related to the Sentencing Council Act 2007, which is proposed for repeal. |
Post Office Act Repeal Act 1987 | Repeals the Post Office Act 1959 and winds up various funds associated with the Post Office. |
Public Safety Conservation Act Repeal Act 1987 | This Act repeals the Public Safety Conservation Act 1932. |
Public Service Investment Society Management (No 2) Act 1979 | This Act provides for the protection of depositors and creditors of the Public Service Investment Society Limited and its associated companies. This Act ceased to apply to the Public Service Investment Society Limited and all the companies named in Schedule 1 of that Act as a result of the Public Service Investment Society Management Order 1987. |
Rent Restriction Act 1924 | Only two sections remain in force. The title section and section 6 which amends the Housing Amendment Act 1921-22. This amendment has already occurred, and subsequently the Housing Amendment Act 1921-22 has been repealed. |
Rent Restriction Extension Act 1931 | The purpose of this legislation is to create special provisions as to the application of rent restriction legislation to dwelling houses in the Hawke’s Bay earthquake area. This purpose is spent as there is no longer need for special legislation to respond to the 1931 Hawke’s Bay Earthquake, and much of the legislation which it applies to has been repealed, including the Hawke’s Bay Earthquake Act 1931 which is proposed for repeal in this Bill. |
Royal New Zealand Institute of Horticulture Act 1953 | The Royal New Zealand Institute of Horticulture (RNZIH) is incorporated under the Incorporated Societies Act 1908 and has been given a Royal Charter. This Act empowers the RNZIH to grant certificates and hold examinations as part of a qualification framework for horticulture and apiculture. These powers are no longer required as the New Zealand Qualifications Framework provides a framework for horticulture and apiculture qualifications. Repeal of this Act will not affect the status of the RNZIH or its royal charter. The RNZIH has been consulted on the repeal of this Act. |
Rugby World Cup 2011 (Empowering) Act 2010 | Section 9 provides that Parts 4 and 5 expire on 31 October 2011. Parts 4 and 5 have expired. The rest of the Act expires on the date specified in the Order in Council made under section 15. The Rugby World Cup 2011 (Dissolution) Regulations 2014 (LI 2014/342) provided that the Act expired on 4 December 2014 (the commencement date of the Regulations). Part 2 establishes the Rugby World Cup Authority. The Authority continues until it is dissolved in accordance with section 15. The Authority has been dissolved. |
Seamen’s Union Funds Act 1971 | This Act provided for the management of the assets of the deregistered New Zealand Seamen's Industrial Union of Workers. The Act vests the assets of the union in the Public Trust until they are vested in a new union. The inclusion in the final Bill is still subject to consultation with Public Trust. |
Sentencing Amendment Act 2007Sections 5, 6(1), 12, 15, 45, 46, 49(1), (2), and (5), and 52 to 54. | These sections are related to the Sentencing Council Act 2007, which is proposed for repeal. |
Sentencing Council Act 2007 | The Sentencing Council Act 2007 came into force on 1 November 2007 but was not implemented. No appointments have been made to the Council. Repealing the Act will clarify that the Sentencing Council will not be created. |
Southland Electricity Act 1993 | This Act provides for the acquisition by the Crown of shares in the capital of The Power Company Ltd (PCL), a company incorporated under the Companies Act 1955, the vesting in PCL of the assets and liabilities of the Southland Electrical Power Supply and Crown administration and control over PCL.In 1998 the Crown transferred its shares in PCL to the trustees of the Southland Electrical Power Supply Consumer Trust. The Act is no longer required since the Crown is now not the shareholder of PCL and no longer exercises any ownership control.Officials have consulted with PCL and the Southland Electrical Power Supply Consumer Trust, on the repeal of this Act. |
Sport and Recreation New Zealand Act 2002Sections 18 to 22, Sections 53 to 61 | Repealing sections 18-22 would abolish the 3 person Nominations Advisory Group (NAG) which gives nonbinding advice to the Minister about new appointments to the Sport New Zealand board. The provisions were intended to be in place for around 7 years while the entity was becoming established. Abolishing it would bring the appointments process for the board in line with other Crown entities (e.g. District Health Boards). Sections 53-61 relate to the abolition of the Hillary Commission. They have been completed and are now redundant. |
State Insurance Act 1990 | The Act enabled Ministers to form and register a private company under the Companies Act 1955, and to vest the assets and liabilities of the State Insurance Office and the State Insurance General Manager in that company. This private company is State Insurance Ltd, which was initially sold to Norwich Union and is now wholly owned by Insurance Australia Group (IAG). IAG New Zealand Ltd (part of the IAG group) has been consulted on the repeal of this Act. |
State Sector Act 1988Sections 96 to 105, 107 to 109, 110(3) and (4), and 112. | These are miscellaneous transitional provisions providing for the transition to the State Sector Act 1988. They are considered to have been completed. |
State Sector Amendment Act (No 2) 2004 | The Act consists of just 3 sections (including title and commencement). Section 16 can be transferred to the State Sector Act, allowing for the rest of the Act to be repealed. |
Statutes Repeal Act 1907 | This Act repealed a number of spent Acts. |
Taranaki Harbours Act 1965 | This Act constituted the Taranaki Harbours Board and dissolved the Taranaki Harbour Board and the Patea Harbour Board.

All assets have been divided between regional and territorial authorities. |
Terralink NZ Limited (Transfer of Employees) Act 1996 | Terralink was a State Owned Enterprise which went into receivership in 2001 and was struck off the companies register on 5 April 2013. Any existing entitlements of former Terralink employees will be preserved under other legislation. |
Tobacco Growing Industry Repeal Act 1987 | This Act abolishes the Tobacco Board. |
Tourist Hotel Corporation of New Zealand Act 1989 | This Act provides for the incorporation of the Tourist Hotel Corporation of New Zealand Limited under the Companies Act 1955. This has already occurred and, as such, the provisions of the Act are spent. The Tourism Hotel Corporation of New Zealand Ltd (Company Number 466408) was dissolved on 8 August 2000 and has been struck off. In light of this, MBIE and the Treasury see no reason for the Act to remain on the statute book. |
Trade and Industry Act Repeal Act 1988 | Abolishes the Department of Trade and Industry and repeals the Trade and Industry Act. |
Waimakiriri-Ashley Water Supply Act 1961 | This Act (formerly titled the Counties Amendment Act 1961) continued the existence and powers of the Waimakiriri-Ashley Water Supply Board, the only water supply board constituted under the Water Supply Act 1908 remaining in existence by 1961. All the operative provisions in the 1961 Act weresubsequently consequentially repealed in favour of generic water supply and water-race provisions in the Local Government Acts of 1974 and 2002. |
Waterfront Industry Reform Act 1989 | This Act dissolved the Waterfront Control Commission. This purpose has been achieved, and the Act is spent. The Ministry of Transport administers the Waterfront Industry Restructuring Act 1989. |
Waterfront Industry Restructuring Act 1989 | This Act dealt with employers’ obligations to make redundancy payments following a restructuring of the waterfront industry in the late 1980s. It established the Waterfront Industry Restructuring Authority, which had the power to make payments to employers to cover their obligation to make redundancy payments. |
Wheat Board Amendment Act 1986 | This Act dissolved the Wheat Board. It contains transitional provisions. |
Year 2000 Information Disclosure Act 1999 | Repealing this Act would remove the protection from civil liability for Year 2000 statements. |
Name of Act | Description |
Church Property Trust (Canterbury) Amendment Act 1951 | This Act amended the Church Property Trust (Canterbury) Act 1879 as it related to the Bishopric Estate and Dean and Chapter Estate. Specifically it shifted any taxation liability for payments from the Estates to the recipient of the payments rather than having them deducted at source. |
Church Property Trustees (Canterbury) Indemnity Act 1890 | This Act specifically required and authorised the Church Property Trustees to pay to certain individuals amounts that they, in turn, had paid in property tax together with associated costs. The tax liability arose from funds borrowed by the Church Property Trustees which were then to be repaid after the Church Property Trustees itself issued debentures. |
Liverpool and London and Globe Insurance Company Act 1879 | This Act enabled the Liverpool and London and Globe Insurance Company to sue, be sued and conduct other commercial activity in New Zealand. |
Michael Connelly Appointment Validation Act 1936 | This Act validated the appointment of Michael Connelly, Esquire, to the Legislative Council. |

Sydenham Money Club Act 2001 | This Act provides for the registration of the Sydenham Money Club as a Building Society. |
The Treasury has reviewed all of the Finance Acts which have sections still in force.
In addition there are provisions which are clearly redundant because they deal with entities or systems which are no longer in existence or because they implement policies which are defunct. Following consultation with relevant teams within Treasury we have listed these for repeal as well.
