Lands And Properties.

The Dunedin City Corporation holds all lands set aside under the terms of purchase from the New Zealand Company, which were originally vested in the Superintendent of the province of Otago, in trust for purposes of public utility to the town of Dunedin and its inhabitants. These lands became vested in the corporation by “The Abolition of the Provinces Act, 1875.” Lands and properties, such as water and gas works, and tramways, acquired by purchase, are also vested in the corporation.
