235: Creation of esplanade strips by agreement

You could also call this:

“Agreeing with your council to create a special area by a river or lake on your land”

You can create an esplanade strip by agreeing with your local authority if you are the registered owner of the land. This can be done for purposes specified in section 229. When you create an esplanade strip by agreement, the rules in sections 229, 232, 233, 234, 237(2), and 237C will apply. You need to get consent from everyone with a registered interest in the land before you can register the esplanade strip with the Registrar-General of Land. The local authority and the registered owner of the land must agree on the esplanade strip.
