Marine and Coastal Area (Takutai Moana) Act 2011

Common marine and coastal area - Reclaimed land

33: Minister to administer reclaimed land subject to this subpart

You could also call this:

"The Minister is in charge of looking after reclaimed land."

Illustration for Marine and Coastal Area (Takutai Moana) Act 2011

The Minister can do things that the Crown would normally do as the owner of reclaimed land in certain areas. You know the Minister is like a person in charge who makes decisions. The Minister can sign a special paper that says where a piece of land is and how big it is, and whether it is subject to this part of the law or not. If the Minister signs this paper, it is proof of what it says, unless someone can show that it is wrong.
