Article 10 Restriction of works and dredging
No person other than the Council shall in the harbour—
construct, place, alter, renew or maintain any works; or
dredge,
unless that person has contracted with or been licensed by the Council to do so.
Any person who contravenes this article shall be guilty of an offence and liable on summary conviction to a fine not exceeding level 3 on the standard scale.
The Council may by notice require a person who contravenes this article to remove, abate or rectify, within a reasonable time specified in the notice, any work, operation or omission to which the contravention relates and to restore the site thereof to its former condition; and if that person fails to comply with the notice the Council may carry out the works so required and may recover from that person as a debt any expenses incurred by it in doing so.
This article shall not apply in respect of dredging carried out by CMAL, its contractors or agents in the approaches to the railway pier, but before carrying out any dredging in the approaches to the railway pier, CMAL shall consult with the Council.
