Local Government Act 1974

Works of councils

237A: Power to acquire land

You could also call this:

"Councils can buy land when they need to, but this rule is no longer used."

Illustration for Local Government Act 1974

The law says a council can buy land if it needs to. You might wonder how this works, but this part of the law is no longer used. It was stopped being used on 1 November 1989 by the Local Government Amendment Act (No 2) 1989.
