Auckland Harbour Board and Takapuna Borough Council Empowering Amendment Bill
This bill changes the rules about what a piece of land in Bayswater, Auckland can be used for. The land is owned by the Takapuna Boating Club. Right now the law says it can only be used for community things, not to make money. The bill would let the club rent out part of the land or buildings to earn money, as long as the main use stays community-focused — like a boating club or swimming baths. Any money earned that way must be spent on looking after the buildings or land, or on community activities.
