This Act concerns permission of the Minister to any residents to build a wharf or abutment, from the private land of such person or persons which may abut on to the port or harbour of the district in which the application is made, into such port or harbour. A plan for an abutment or wharf shall be submitted to the Minister. The Minister may order inspections and issue a notice if an abutment or wharf is not in a proper condition or is likely to impede or interfere with the navigation of the port or harbour.
