355: Vesting of reclaimed land
or “The government can give people ownership of land that used to be part of a river or lake.”

You could also call this:

“This law used to explain how the Foreshore and Seabed Act affected who owned new land created at the edge of the sea, but it's not used anymore.”

This part of the law used to talk about how the Foreshore and Seabed Act 2004 affected the ownership of reclaimed land. Reclaimed land is land that was once under water but has been turned into dry land. However, this section has been removed from the law. It was taken out on 1 April 2011 by another law called the Marine and Coastal Area (Takutai Moana) Act 2011. This means that this part of the law no longer applies and you can’t use it anymore.
