Illustration for Local Government Act 1974

The council and the owner of some land can agree to let a subdivision happen. You need to know that this rule is part of the law about subdividing land. The rule is called section 280 of the Local Government Act 1974, but it is no longer in use because it was repealed by the Resource Management Act 1991, which you can read more about on the legislation website.
