Local Government Act 1974

Subdivision and development of land - General provisions

297A: Refund of money and return of land where development does not proceed

You could also call this:

"Getting your money and land back if a development doesn't happen"

Illustration for Local Government Act 1974

If a development does not go ahead, you might get your money back and any land you gave for the development might be returned to you. This is covered by a part of the law called section 297A of the Local Government Act 1974. However, this part of the law is no longer in effect because it was repealed on 1 October 1991 by section 362 of the Resource Management Act 1991.
