(ii) Not to assign, sub-let or otherwise dispose of or part with possession of the pier without the written consent of the Governor.

(iii) At all times to permit inspection by authorised officers of the Government.

(iv) Not to use or permit the pier to be used for any purpose other than the lessee's business without the written consent of the Governor.

(v) Not to make any alteration or extension of the pier or to erect any structure thereon without the written consent of the Director of Public Works.

(vi) Not to use or permit the pier to be used for the storage of materials or goods of any description, other than gear required for working the pier, or to permit such materials or goods to remain on the pier beyond the time actually required for transit purposes.

(vii) To comply with the provisions of all enactments now or hereafter in force regarding the construction, maintenance, lighting or use of piers.

(viii) To ensure the preservation of due order in the whole area included in the pier lease.

(ix) Not to exhibit or permit to be exhibited any advertisement on or above the pier without the written consent of the Governor.

(x) If the pier is at any time used for the embarkation of passengers, the lessee, if called upon to do so by the Governor, to erect and maintain such shelters or other structures as the Governor may require for the use of police and preventive officers for the inspection of passengers and their baggage.

9. Every pier lease will contain a proviso for re-entry on the breach or non-observance of the covenants or stipulations on the part of the lessee.

10. Leases will contain provision enabling the Crown, where a lessee fails to do this after due notice, to effect repairs or cleansing and to remove any unauthorized alterations, extensions or structures, and in each case to charge the cost involved to the lessee and to recover the same summarily. The lessees' covenants will be extended to comprise a covenant to pay any such costs on delivery of an account certified by the Director of Public Works and the right of re-entry will thus arise if the lessee fails to pay.

11. It may be found desirable to include a proviso for resumption on valuation such as appears in many Crown leases in addition to the powers of compulsory resumption under the Crown Lands Resumption Ordinance.
