This Order provides for Mutford Lock and the adjoining land to become part of the navigation area within the jurisdiction of the Broads Authority for the purpose of the Norfolk and Suffolk Broads Act 1988 and for the Broads Authority to become the harbour authority for Mutford Lock and the adjoining land.
